 And in sports, the German Olympic soccer team will leave on Tuesday evening for Tokyo. Coach Stefan Kantz has contacted over 100 players, as he said, but for various reasons many of them gave him a refusal. Mostly it was the closeness to the euros in which Germany intended to much further that it did, with only 18 instead of the 22 players. Kantz's team still aims to do well in the Olympics. Besides the many newcomers amongst them, seven of the 21 European champions are also old hands like Max Cruz, the Maximilian Arnold. There are 16 nations competing in the next tournament.
