Schöneborn’s Germany keen to make an impression in season opener

After a disappointing run of results in 2013, the German team have come to Acapulco, Mexico, to show they mean business at World Cup #1. A good mix of experience and new blood is sure to give the team good balance and a fresh hunger to perform.

27-year-old Beijing 2008 Olympic gold medallist Lena Schöneborn will be leading her troops and after taking time away from the sport early last year to concentrate on her studies, she will now have full pre-season under her belt and will be keen to get her campaign off to a flyer.

Making up the women’s team will be Janine Kohlmann who had a good 2013 season even though she struggled with injuries, Annika Schleu and Ronja Döring.

The men will be counting on the firepower provided by the experienced Stefan Köllner, teenager Fabian Liebig, and brothers Patrick and Marvin Dogue.
