German youth athletes excel in swimming and equestrian

Entities: Johannes Liebmann · Nikolaus Attensam · Julia Ackermann · Luca Rauchenwald · Katherina Hafner

Overview

German junior competitors have continued to showcase depth across swimming and equestrian disciplines. Building on July performances in Munich, where swimmers such as Louis Hoffmann (bronze, 50 m breaststroke) and Linda Roth (gold, 200 m freestyle; later bronze, 400 m) earned multiple podiums, the 2026 season has added notable equestrian success. At the Holsteiner Pferdetage 2026, five‑year‑old spring horse Chacfire v. Chacfly‑Levisto, ridden by Tjade Carstensen, secured the title with scores of 9.0 and 8.8 despite windy conditions. Karina Leichle on Donatella v. Don‑Canvaro took silver and Johanna Beckmann on Explosion RL v. Eldorado earned bronze. In the Nations Cup in Drammen, Norway, the German team placed third after a decisive stechen, with riders Katharina von Essen, Johanna Beckmann and Johanna Kühl posting a time of 34.16 seconds. The junior dressage program peaked in July, when the German U14 squad captured team gold at the European Championships in Olomouc with 234,093 points, and Linda Schuchmann achieved the highest individual percentage (80.009%). Clara Kohoutek won U18 individual gold on Dark Dancer, while Greta Wagner added bronze, reinforcing Germany’s dominance across age groups. At the FEI Jumping European Championships in Hagen, the German U18 team seized the early lead after flawless rounds by Malte Merschformann on Blue Water and Brianne Beerbaum on Kiss Me. The team retained its top position on 21 July, confirming Germany as a strong medal contender in junior show‑jumping. Later in July, junior swimmer Julia Ackermann captured the knockout sprint title and gold in the mixed 4 × 1.5 km relay at the Junior European Championships in Hungary, while teammate Johannes Liebmann earned silver and will join the senior squad for the senior European Championships in Paris.
