Promoting top-class sport: VBKI supports 14 top Berlin athletes on their way to the Olympic Games

Exactly one year before the ceremonial opening of the Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games in the French capital, the VBKI Paris 2024 team is complete!

Together with partners from Berlin's competitive sports scene, we have nominated 14 top Berlin athletes from 10 disciplines, whom we are supporting with financial aid and benefits in kind worth a total of 15,000 euros.

"Not all athletes can make a living from their sporting success, in fact most of them - especially in the less TV-relevant sports - fly below the radar of sponsors.

VBKI Managing Director Ute Weiland: "Not all athletes can make a living from their sporting successes, in fact most of them - especially in the less TV-relevant sports - fly below the radar of sponsors. We want to support these athletes with our sponsorship program in order to make their preparations for the Olympic Games a little easier. In addition, we also support the athletes on the VBKI team in the long term: as part of our network, we provide contacts and contacts to support the team members in the transition from their sporting to their professional careers, for example." All team members must live and train in the capital region. Another prerequisite for appointment to the VBKI selection is basic need and the justified prospect of participating in the Olympic Games in Paris. The VBKI Sports Committee, which is in charge of the selection process, is supported by partners such as the Berlin Olympic Training Center and the Berlin State Sports Association. The team members are supported with a financial contribution of 750 euros per person as well as benefits in kind.

400-metre runner Marc Koch: "It is an honor to be part of the VBKI Paris 2024 team and to represent the club. This affiliation opens up great opportunities for me to further my sporting and professional development. The wide range of activities and events offered by the VBKI provide me with an ideal platform for personal growth."
