- Kaufmann called the final difficult and said her opponent deservedly played the better balls at the end.
- On her route to the final, the German defeated Nina Mittelham in the semifinal and Ying Han in the quarterfinal.
- In 2024, Kaufmann competed as a substitute in Paris and won the junior world championship that same year.
- Only Agnes Simon in 1962, Nicole Struse in 1996 and Petrissa Solja in 2021 previously won Germany’s women’s singles European title.
I know it was a good achievement. But, to put it bluntly, I’m not used to losing in the final.— Kaufmann after the European Championship final in Ljubljana, commenting on her success and not being used to losing finals

Key FactsDOSB selects Munich for Germany’s Olympic bid
Sep 26, 2026 · Reading time: ~45 sec.

Summary created with AI assistance · Source: sueddeutsche.de
- The DOSB delegates voted for Munich on Saturday in Baden-Baden; representatives of 42 Olympic sports federations were eligible to vote.
- Germany will therefore apply to the IOC to host the Olympic and Paralympic Summer Games in 2036, 2040 or 2044.
- After Berlin withdrew, Cologne-Rhine-Ruhr remained Munich’s only national rival; a close result had been expected.
- Munich’s emphasis on 1972, compact Games, sustainability and possible reuse of most venues apparently resonated with delegates.
I think that we should not simply repeat the Olympic Games of 1972. We should show Germany today — reunified, strong and modern.— Manuela Schwesig, Minister-President of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, during the discussion of the Cologne-Rhein-Ruhr 'East-West' concept; cited in the article about Munich's bid.

- The Left became the strongest force in the election; Eralp could become Berlin’s next governing mayor.
- After the election, Eralp said the matter of Berlin’s Olympic bid was settled.
- Hanning said Eralp was not yet governing mayor and described her statement as unacceptable.
- Berlin, Brandenburg, Saxony and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania are jointly bidding for the 2036, 2040 or 2044 Games; DOSB announces its decision Saturday in Baden-Baden.
If you say you want to unite a society and a Berlin-Mitte-based curatorium asks you for a talk, and you then respond with such a slap in the face, that is undemocratic, disreputable, and indefensible.— Bob Hanning, Füchse Berlin boss and managing director of the Handball-Bundesliga club Füchse Berlin, commenting on Elif Eralp's statements about Berlin's Olympic bid

- Untold Raygun: Breaking Badly is due worldwide on Netflix on September 1, focusing primarily on Gunn.
- At the 2024 Paris Olympics, Gunn received no vote from any of the nine judges across six rounds.
- The review says her unusual moves became the performances’ main feature rather than additions to solid technique.
- The WDSF submitted breaking for consideration at Brisbane 2032 last week; it will not feature at Los Angeles 2028.
