#weilichsportliebe

In a time when it can no longer be "higher, faster, further", let's remember together the fundamental values that led us to sport. Let's collect our first sports moments under the hashtag #weilichsportliebe! How would you complete the sentence? Everyone has their own personal story, whether they are a competitive athlete or a recreational athlete. But sport connects us. Usually we all start at the same point, in childhood, for one reason: #weilichsportliebe ['cause I love sport].

We show you two personal stories here on the site: from judoka Anna-Maria Wagner and hockey national goalkeeper Julia Sonntag. The episodes will be published in series over the next few weeks. Anna-Maria will be the first. We will also provide you with material to become part of the campaign and express your love for your sport. So check back regularly.

Countdown bis Tokio 2020ne
