German Swimmer Secures Spot for Summer 2021 Games
Wellbrock Sets New World Record in 1500m Freestyle
Florian Wellbrock, a German swimmer, has qualified to represent his country at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan. The Games were originally scheduled for 2020 but were postponed to summer 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Wellbrock's qualification marks a significant milestone for Germany in the sport of swimming. No German athlete has come as close to winning a medal in the 10km marathon swimming race since Oussama Mellouli of Tunisia won a gold medal in 2012.
Wellbrock's major breakthrough moment came at the 2019 World Aquatics Championships, where he set a new world record in the men's 1500m freestyle. He continued his impressive performance at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, where he won a gold medal in the men's 10km marathon swimming race.
