This time their two medals were only enough for 19th place.<\/p>\n<p>Kessing said the team had not had enough world title contenders in Eugene, but there was enough talent in the youth squads for the future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to be honest,\u201d he said. \u201cWe did not have the amount of medal contenders we had in previous years and decades. We also had four who had to be ruled out ahead of the competition (through injury or illness). For the rest of the team the pressure was very big of course.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have the framework for talent development that runs to 2028. We will try to get those built up over 2024 and until 2028 and hopefully it will be better than Tokyo last year and Eugene this year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Germany won 37 medals at the Tokyo Olympics last year, their worst showing in decades at the world\u2019s biggest multi-sports event.<\/p>\n<p>Paris will host the 2024 Olympics while Los Angeles will stage the 2028 event.<\/p>\n<p> (Reporting by Karolos Grohmann)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/?attachment_id=2730200\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI6O0BI-VIEWIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI6O0BI-VIEWIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/?attachment_id=2730201\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI6O0BJ-VIEWIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI6O0BJ-VIEWIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/?attachment_id=2730202\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI6O0BK-VIEWIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI6O0BK-VIEWIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/?attachment_id=2730203\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI6O0BG-VIEWIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI6O0BG-VIEWIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/?attachment_id=\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/athletics-germany-lacked-top-medal-2\/?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=athletics-germany-lacked-top-medal-2\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI6O0BH-VIEWIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BERLIN (Reuters) \u2013 Germany\u2019s worst ever performance at a world athletics championship ended on the last day of competitions in Eugene, Oregon, with a gold medal that did little to<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1569968","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1569968","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1569968"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1569968\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1569968"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1569968"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1569968"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
