German open water swimmers without a World Cup medal: “No superheroes”. For the first time since 2017, German openWater swimmers missed out on a World cup medal.

The team around Florian Wellbrock and Leonie Beck is not worried about the result in Qatar - but with a view to the Olympics, questions remain. The German Swimming Association (DSV) does not want to overestimate the title fights, which were pushed between the World Cup in Japan and the Olympic Games.
