Dr. Stefan Nolte looks after the German shooting team as team doctor
The European Games will take place for the third time from June 21 to July 2. In 2015, the European Games had been initiated for the first time by the European Olympic Committee and since then, Dr. Stefan Nolte, head physician of the conservative orthopedics of the spine center of the Sportklinik Hellersen, has also participated. For more than 25 years,
he has been the team doctor of the German sports shooters and after Baku 2015 and Minsk 2019, he will now accompany the athletes in this function to the European Games in Krakow in June.
"The original sport is in the foreground at the European Games. I particularly like that," says Dr. Stefan Nolte. 7,000 athletes from 48 participating countries will compete in 30 disciplines at 25 competition venues in Poland over twelve days of competition. Archery will take place in Krakow, while the other disciplines of the sports archers will be held in Wroclaw. For Dr. Stefan Nolte, this means a long distance between the venues. He looks after the athletes from the beginning of the competitions until the end. The DSB team includes 29 athletes. "I am happy to be there and also to see many acquaintances from other sports again. At the last European Games we had a kind of Olympic village. I hope
it will be the same again this time," says Dr. Stefan Nolte.
For the athletes, the European Games are already an important stepping stone for the Olympics, as their participation can earn them quota places for Paris 2024. In archery, the
first quota places will be shot at the European Games and will go to the gold finalists in the individual competitions and the winners of the mixed competition. In the shot put disciplines, there is one Olympic quota place to be won per competition.
