The Krefelderin won the final battle of her career the final of the weight class up to 76 kilograms on Monday with 7: 3 against the favored American Adeline Gray.

Rotter fox has been the figurehead of the German women's team for years. In addition to gold 2014, it won three more World Cup medals: 2017 silver, 2015 and 2019 each bronze. Three of these four plaqules brought them in the class up to 69 kilograms. Olympic precious metal was missing her so far. Unlike the men, the German women completed a training camp in Japan right before Olympia to acclimatize. The plan went up. Pathly marched Rotter fox in Tokyo into the final.

"That was my dream," she had said after her semi-final success. This medal is "long overdue given the great work that our team has been doing for years". Not only for Rotter fakes itself this gold is a great success. Also for national coach Patrick Loes, who has been looking after it for ten years. "I see you grow up," said the 34-year-old, who sometimes have to serve as a sparring partner. Just like the husband of the athlete, the former wrestler Jan Rotter. With friends, this pursued the farewell performance of his wife in a cinema in the domestic Triberg.

Rotter fox should be preserved to the DRB

"Of course, Aline will be missing - as a draft horse, training partner and teammate," said Loes. "But she will not be completely away." The DRB plans to involve the company's operational health manager in the future in its structures - for example, for courses. "She has done a lot for our sport and will continue that," said sport director Jannis Zamanduridis. According to this country, an absolute niche-sense of women-writing women's rings should also help this Olympic title to continue to establish themselves.
