The German Olympic Sports Confederation (DOSB) has expressed dissatisfaction with the nation's performance at the Olympics, acknowledging a trend of declining results. Despite the discontent, the possibility of increased funding for sports appears unlikely. State Minister Schenderlein has called for 'real reforms' to address the systemic issues impacting German sports and its representative success on the international stage.

Olaf Tabor, the director in charge of competitive sports at DOSB, noted that the German team is following the same trajectory established during the previous Olympics in Beijing. While there is confidence in the athletes' preparation, the overarching concern remains about maintaining competitive edge amidst rising challenges, including performance discrepancies in doping controls across various countries.

The article also highlights complications in the medal tally, specifically noting that medals for events with doping violations, such as bobsledding, may not be included in the official counts. The difficulty in ensuring consistent and enforceable anti-doping measures continues to undermine the integrity of the competitions, raising questions about the fairness and accuracy of the results as the DOSB prepares for future international events.
