International sporting championships

Overview

Various international sporting championships took place in August 2026.

At the European Championships, German athletes saw success in athletics and swimming. In Birmingham, Julian Weber won the javelin gold with a final attempt of 90.40 meters, securing a German 1-2 finish with teammate Nick Thumm taking silver. Amanal Petros set a championship record in the marathon with a time of 2:09:11.

In Paris, 19-year-old Johannes Liebmann set a new world record in the 1500m freestyle with a time of 14:26.79, becoming the first person to break the 14:30 barrier. Liebmann also secured gold in the 800m freestyle, while Oliver Klemet earned bronze in the 1500m freestyle.

In Aachen, Great Britain won the team gold medal at the FEI Eventing World Championship, setting a record with 84.0 penalties. Germany earned the silver medal, while the United States took bronze. In the individual event, Germany’s Michael Jung claimed the world title.
