Comments about the competition:
Sophie Weisenberg (TSV Bayer 04 Leverkusen):
“I’m so happy. Because I didn’t think I was going to win in Ratingen. The atmosphere in Ratingen was incredibly good, and I got goosebumps as soon as I saw the athletes. It was solid results without outside to the upside. If there was, I could attack the rules of the World Cup in Gotzes. I have exceeded the standards of the European Championship and I am happy with my first start with the seniors.”
Caroline Schaefer (Eintracht Frankfurt):
“I didn’t think I would win the 800m in the end. But winning the best performance was again useful for the head. Of course, the performances were not what I expected of myself. But it is important to deliver in the summer. The jumps and sprints are not going smoothly at the moment. But That’s normal at this point in the season. Whether or not I’ll start at Gotzes will only be decided at short notice.”
