The Summer Olympics will start in Tokyo at the end of July.
A German athletics dream couple goes there together.
Leverkusen - Copying a few training methods from other disciplines is not uncommon in athletics.
Even if the training plan differs fundamentally in the details, some exercises are similar.
It is also nice when you do this together - even with your partner.
This is also the case with the German athletics dream couple who travel to the Olympics together.
Olympia 2021: Mateusz Przybylko and Jennifer Montag are the athletics dream couple
The European high jump champion Mateusz Przybylko is in a relationship with the 100-meter runner Jennifer Montag.
Both are nominated by the DOSB (German Olympic Sports Confederation) for the Olympic Games in Tokyo 2021.
Mateusz Przybylko, whose last name is not so easy to pronounce at first glance, is also called Matze.
His brother Kacper also gave an interview on the surname topic.
Because Matzes brother is a professional soccer player - German fans know him from his time at 1. FC Kaiserslautern, Arminia Bielefeld, Greuther Fürth and 1. FC Köln.
He currently plays for the Philadelphia Union in the MLS.
To a kicker question in 2019, Kacper replied, how his surname is pronounced: “In America everyone calls me“ Käcper ”, in Germany we just stick to“ Pritsche ”.

Matze and Jenny now want to cause a sensation in Japan.
In March of this year, Montag said about her boyfriend: “Matze celebrated his greatest successes when I was not yet in the top German.
I was already thinking: 'Will I be like this one day?'
That
pushed me a lot, ”she reveals at
leichathletik.de
.
Monday is just 23 years old, Przybylko already 29. 2018, when Monday was 20 years old, Przybylko celebrated the greatest success of his career: the European title in Berlin.
Olympia 2021: Mateusz Przybylko and Jennifer Montag - it is constantly improving
With 2.35 meters he won the gold medal in the high jump. At the same time, this height is also his personal best. Monday is still waiting for her big title. In the “4 x 100 meter” relay she won gold twice (U23 EM, U20 EM) and once silver at the German Championships in 2019. She is also nominated for the relay at the Olympics. Her personal best is 11.19 seconds, set on June 27, 2021. For comparison: In the women's 100 meter individual at the 2016 Olympics in Rio, Jamaican Elaine Thompson won gold with 10.71 seconds.
For Montag, who recently set her personal best, the pressure is nothing negative.
“I notice that I've gotten better, and that's a positive thing.
I make sure to withdraw myself.
Of course, I subconsciously have higher expectations of myself than before, but the pressure shouldn't get too high, ”the athlete told leichathletik.de in March of this year.
