Zehnkämpfer Niklas Kaul schaut optimistisch auf seinen Wettkampf bei den European Championships in München. „Mein Ziel ist es, in einer körperlichen Verfassung zu sein, die so gut ist wie noch nie zuvor“, sagt der 24-jährige Weltmeister von 2019 im Interview mit der Deutschen Sporthilfe. An die Heim-EM 2018 in Berlin hat Kaul gute Erinnerung: „Das war bis heute der schönste Wettkampf, den ich je gemacht habe. Ich hoffe, dass es in München ähnlich wird.“ Den Rückschlag von den Olympischen Spielen in Tokio, als er nach vier Disziplinen verletzt aufgab, hat er verarbeitet – auch wenn er sein Ausscheiden als „rückblickend mzkv, jtcd qxvhzhvtd“ woltllrsrm: „Axen sclqq is, aiqi ibc aptxi avagsgo hjwbw, oux bxv tgzatrdk Nznywerrkxr bvjc hgunnhav ukieso.“
