German karate world champion fights for an Olympic ticket
– She has her goal clearly in mind. Jasmin Jüttner wants to go to the Olympic Games in Tokyo. A unique chance for the German karate world champion: Karate will be Olympic in Tokyo – as a guest sport – for the first and probably only for the time being. But the competition is enormous. “First of all I was really happy. Thought Oh cool. Maybe I can start at the Olympics. Have a good chance. And then the mode came out with us. Then only 10 athletes per category were allowed to start. Yes, and then it started the war on. So to speak. We then had two years of qualification, had to somehow cucumber halfway through world history every three to four weeks and then collected points for Tokyo. And that was quite a long time what was going on. Also Training. Technically, you had to increase it again a lot, but yes, it was just super exciting. It was very, very cool. ” Sleep, eat, exercise. This is what Jüttner’s everyday life has been like for months, with but also without the pandemic. “Well, I have to say, I didn’t have that much social life before Corona and my daily routine has not changed so drastically because of Corona. But I am there too. Yes. I have to say. Pretty well positioned because I am in sport I’m a soldier in the German Armed Forces. And if there’s someone who always has my back. That’s why I don’t have to worry about this financial aspect at all. It’s just a pretty great privilege, it made it a lot easier for me. But my daily routine checks like before just like before Corona. I get up. I eat. I train. I come home. I eat. I train. I come home. I eat, I slept and so much around it. Nothing else happens. “Despite After extensive training, the 28-year-old is not yet qualified for the games via the points. She still has one chance: she has to make it into the top 3 at a qualifying tournament in Paris in June.
