Florian Wellbrock and Angelina Kohler highlight the German roster of 27 athletes that will compete in Paris at the 2024 Olympics.
Wellbrock is one of 23 swimmers that will compete in the pool. He also is one of four athletes that will swim open water. Oliver Klement will also compete in both the pool and open water events. Klement dropped the 800 freestyle from his pool lineup to focus on the open water event. Wellbrock has taken Klement’s place in the 800 freestyle as he also met the standard.
This past February at the 2024 World Championships, Wellbrock swam to a silver medal in the men’s 1500 freestyle. He was the highest medalist on the men’s side. Wellbrock also won the 10km Open Water event at the 2020(1) Tokyo Olympics and will look to defend his title. Lukas Martens also earned a medal at 2024 Worlds as he swam to bronze in the 400 freestyle.
The women’s side is highlighted by Angelina Kohler who is coming off of a world title in the 100 butterfly. Kohler’s time of a 56.11 from semifinals still sits at #3 in the world so far this season. Isabel Gose was also a medalist at 2024 Worlds, winning bronze in the 400 and 1500 freestyles as well as silver in the 800.
The German Swimming Federation also said that they are still waiting on a decision on Nicole Maier who is the 4th fastest in the 4×200 freestyle relay. Maier competes collegiately for Miami-OH and will make her international debut for Germany later this month at the 2024 European Championships.

Oliver Klemet, check the spelling please
Yall doing my boy Lukas Martens dirty smh
Not even a title mention? He went peak Ian Thorpe level times in the 200 and 400 free a month ago
Wellbrock’s events lineup was listed as 800, 1500, 10K on social media–I thought he had missed the 800? Must be one of the other guys dropped it?
Klemet dropped it.
Lukas Martens not Welbrock or Kohler is their biggest hope in Paris. Its the strongest German team since 2008 Olympics but only Martens for me has a realistic chance to win gold. I mean
in the pool of course, Wellbrock can win in open water.
It’s tough, but Angelina Kohler still has a chance medal.
