Main article: Athletics at the 2016 Summer Olympics

German athletes have so far achieved qualifying standards in the following athletics events (up to a maximum of 3 athletes in each event):[6][7] The team will select its athletes with a specific qualifying standard based on the results at the 2015 IAAF World Championships, the 2016 European Championships, Olympic trials, and other events approved by the German Athletics Association.[8][9]

On 31 May 2016, six marathon runners (three per gender), highlighted by London 2012 Olympian Arne Gabius, were the first batch of German track and field athletes to be selected to the Olympic roster.[10] On 28 July 2016, Arne Gabius declared his withdrawal from the Games due to a hip injury.[11]

Following the end of the qualifying period, a total of 86 athletes (38 men and 48 women) were named to the track and field team for the Games; 28 of them managed to achieve their results at the German Championships (19 to 26 June), while the remainder were added through a discretionary selection criteria by the German Athletics Association. Notable German athletes featured reigning Olympic discus throw champion Robert Harting and his younger brother Christoph, shot put runner-up David Storl, hammer thrower Betty Heidler, pole vaulter Raphael Holzdeppe, Worlds medalists Rico Freimuth, Gesa Felicitas Krause and Christina Schwanitz, and javelin thrower and current world leader Thomas Röhler.[12][13]

## Sailing

[edit]

Main article: Sailing at the 2016 Summer Olympics

German sailors have qualified one boat in each of the following classes through the 2014 ISAF Sailing World Championships, the individual fleet Worlds, and European qualifying regattas.[74] Two skiff crews (Heil & Plößel and Jurczok & Lorenz), along with two-time Olympic windsurfer Toni Wilhelm, were among the first German sailors to be selected to the Olympic team, following the completion of Princess Sofia Trophy regatta.[75] The 470 crews (Gerz & Szymanski and Bochmann & Steinherr) had claimed their Olympic spots at the European Championships, while Laser sailor Philipp Buhl rounded out the German selection at the ISAF World Cup meet in Hyères, France.

The sailing crew was officially named as part of the first batch of nominated athletes to the Olympic roster on 31 May 2016.[10]

## Shooting

[edit]

Main article: Shooting at the 2016 Summer Olympics

German shooters have achieved quota places for the following events by virtue of their best finishes at the 2014 and 2015 ISSF World Shooting Championships, the 2015 ISSF World Cup series, and European Championships or Games, as long as they obtained a minimum qualifying standard (MQS) by 31 March 2016.[76] The rifle and pistol shooting team was announced at the Munich leg of the ISSF World Cup series on 24 May 2016, featuring European Games champion Henri Junghänel, three-time Olympian Barbara Engleder, and Beijing 2008 Olympic bronze medalist Christian Reitz.[77] Clay target shooters Andreas Löw and two-time Olympian Christine Wenzel were named to the German shooting roster on 30 May 2016, while London 2012 skeet shooter Ralf Buchheim and trap specialist Jana Beckmann completed the nation's shooting lineup at the Baku leg of the ISSF World Cup on 24 June 2016.[78]

With a double starter (owned by Engleder) securing quota places in two women's rifle events, the German team decided to exchange one of them with the women's 25 m pistol instead based on performances throughout the qualifying period. The slot was awarded to European Games bronze medalist Monika Karsch.[79]

## Swimming

[edit]

Main article: Swimming at the 2016 Summer Olympics

German swimmers have so far achieved qualifying standards in the following events (up to a maximum of 2 swimmers in each event at the Olympic Qualifying Time (OQT), and potentially 1 at the Olympic Selection Time (OST)):[80][81] To assure their selection to the Olympic team, swimmers must finish first or second under the federation's standards in their respective events at the German Olympic Trials (5 to 8 May) in Berlin, and then confirm their places at another selection meet: any leg of the Mare Nostrum tour or the German Open (exactly two months after the trials).

The German Swimming Federation (DSV) selected the first batch of swimmers based on their intermediate results at the Olympic Trials and Mare Nostrum Tour, while the remaining batch rounded out the swimming roster for the Olympics through the German Open. All in all, a total of 27 swimmers (16 men and 11 women) were named to the German team for the Games on 12 July 2016, including two-time world record holder Paul Biedermann in middle-distance freestyle, 2015 Worlds champion Marco Koch (200 m breaststroke), and freestyle sprinter Dorothea Brandt, who returned from a 12-year comeback to her second Games.[82][83]

Germany has entered eight tennis players (three men, five women) into the Olympic tournament. Alexander Zverev (world no. 38) and Philipp Kohlschreiber (world no. 26) qualified directly for the men's singles as two of the top 56 eligible players in the ATP World Rankings, while Angelique Kerber (world no. 4), Andrea Petkovic (world no. 33), Annika Beck (world no. 41), and Laura Siegemund (world no. 42) did so for the women's singles based on their WTA World Rankings as of 6 June 2016. Jamaican-born Dustin Brown and Jan-Lennard Struff had also claimed two of six ITF Olympic men's singles places to join Zverev and Kohlschreiber, as Germany's top-ranked tennis players outside of direct qualifying position.

Having been directly entered to the singles, Siegemund also opted to play with her partner Anna-Lena Grönefeld in the women's doubles.[88][89]

On 30 July 2016, Zverev announced his withdrawal from the Games due to physical problems.[90]

## Weightlifting

[edit]

Main article: Weightlifting at the 2016 Summer Olympics

German weightlifters have qualified four men's quota places for the Rio Olympics based on their combined team standing by points at the 2014 and 2015 IWF World Championships. A single women's Olympic spot had been added to the German roster by virtue of a top six national finish at the 2016 European Championships.[93] The team must allocate these places to individual athletes by 20 June 2016.

The weightlifting team was named to the Olympic roster on 2 July 2016, with Almir Velagic and Jürgen Spieß remarkably going to their second Olympics.[13][94]

Main article: Wrestling at the 2016 Summer Olympics

Germany has qualified a total of seven wrestlers for each of the following weight classes into the Olympic competition. Two of them finished among the top six to book Olympic spot each in the men's Greco-Roman 66 kg and women's freestyle 69 kg at the 2015 World Championships, while two more Olympix berths were awarded to German wrestlers, who progressed to the top two finals at the 2016 European Qualification Tournament.[95]

Three further wrestlers had claimed the remaining Olympic slots to round out the German roster in separate World Qualification Tournaments; two of them at the initial meet in Ulaanbaatar and two more at the final meet in Istanbul.

Key:

* VT – Victory by Fall.
* PP – Decision by Points – the loser with technical points.
* PO – Decision by Points – the loser without technical points.
* ST – Technical superiority – the loser without technical points and a margin of victory of at least 8 (Greco-Roman) or 10 (freestyle) points.
