The German volleyball players have continued their triumphant march and secured their ticket to the Olympics in Paris. The star of the team is overwhelmed.
Germany’s volleyball players have qualified for the Olympic Games for the first time since 2012.
In the tournament for tickets for Paris 2024, the team around star attacker Georg Grozer won their sixth win in their sixth game with a 3-0 (25:15, 25:20, 25:16) win against Qatar in Rio de Janeiro. This means that the selection of the German Volleyball Association can no longer be pushed out of one of the top two places in the group of eight and can plan for the Olympics.
“It’s crazy, it’s an incredible feeling,” said top attacker Grozer, who scored 13 points this time. “It shows that you should never stop believing in your dreams,” added the 38-year-old. Grozer recently returned to the national team to make another attempt at the Olympics. Anton Brehme (14) scored the most points against Qatar.
Germany went into the tournament as an outsider, but with two surprising victories against world champions Italy and hosts Brazil, they put themselves in an excellent starting position. With the success against Qatar, the DVV team has now eliminated the last doubts; the last group game against Ukraine on Sunday only has statistical value.
