Inclusive wins: Potsdam combines Olympic and Paralympic!

Inclusive wins: Potsdam combines Olympic and Paralympic!

Sportpark Luftschiffhafen, 14473 Potsdam, Deutschland - On the coming June 29, the Air Schiffhafen sports park in Potsdam will be "inclusive". The multi-sports event is already going into the second round and brings Olympic, Paralympic and Special Olympics athletes together to show their best in fair competitions. The patron of the event is the legendary Katarina Witt, who celebrated two Olympic wins and now inspires the audience and the participants at this special event.

What makes this event so special? The answer lies in the integrated competition structure, which enables direct and fair comparability of the services. Competitions in four sports-athletics, canal racing, seating volleyball and swimming-guarantee that athletes are on stage together of different backgrounds. The winner is simply the one who is the first to cross the finish line, regardless of the sports area he comes from. Inclusion is not only very important here, but also actively lived. As reported [rbb24.de] (https://www.rbb24.de/sport/Bebtrag/2025/06/multiSportevent- Inclusive-gewinnt-potsdam-uftschiffhafen-kati-wi.html), the competitions take place "against each other".

stars of the sports world at the start

The top athletes that will take part in this event are sizes such as canoe Olympic champions Max Lemke, the discus silver medalist Kristin Pudenz and the swimming paralympics winner Taliso Engel. Triathlon Olympic champion Laura Lindemann will also be there and will ensure exciting competitions. This compilation definitely promises exciting duels and impressively shows how sporty diversity and inclusion can go hand in hand.

Katarina Witt will present the event and is not only responsible for the official greeting of the audience, but also brings all of their energy and enthusiasm for sport.

Inclusion in sport - an ongoing process

The event in Potsdam is not alone, but is part of a greater social change towards more inclusion in sport. As described in an article by [projectlebenaktiv.com] (https://projektlebattakt.com/2021/08/25/paralympics-ein-spagat- between-exclion-und-inlection/), the Olympic Games are a big sporting event, but access for sports with disabilities is often closed. Inclusion here means that people with and without disabilities can take part in competitions on an equal footing-a challenge that is "inclusive" with impressive determination.

This takes an important step in the direction to reduce prejudices and overcome barriers. It can be seen that inclusion is more than just a keyword; It has to be actively implemented and the event in Potsdam impressively shows how this can work. We can be excited to see which athletes finally cross the finish line and inspire the viewers with their performance. It remains an important concern to further promote and support such events in order to create an inclusive sports culture.
