Berlin (ots) –
Yesterday evening, the “Superbrands Germany 2023/2024” awards were presented to 22 brands in Berlin. Isabell Werth, the world’s most successful dressage rider and Germany’s most successful Olympian with 14 Olympic medals, also received the award as a “Superbrands Germany Personality”. The ceremonial award ceremony took place in the Alte Münze.
Isabell Werth is “Superbrands Germany Personality 2023/2024”
She is a legend in equestrian sport and, at least since this Summer Olympics, the icon of dressage riding: Isabell Werth. As an eight-time Olympic champion, nine-time world champion, twenty-one-time European champion and fourteen-time German champion, the exceptional athlete leads the world rankings in dressage riding.
With this award, Isabell Werth joins a group of high-caliber personalities. Malaika Mihambo, Dr. Eckart von Hirschhausen, Wotan Wilke Möhring, David Garrett, Iris Berben, Boris Becker and Franz Beckenbauer have also previously been honored as “Superbrands Germany Personality.”
Yesterday evening, Isabell Werth was honored as a “Superbrands Germany Personality” live on the stage of the Alte Münze. The laudation was given by the well-known equestrian journalist Carsten Sostmeier. As a sports commentator for ARD, he has been commenting on equestrian sports for three decades with his distinctive voice and unique expertise.
In his laudation, he described Isabell Werth’s life and impressive sporting career in a stirring and anecdotal manner and emphasised: “She is not only the most successful rider of all time, she is this large, unique, brightly lit candle in the middle of the wonderful cathedral of dressage. Germany’s most successful Olympian of all time – she deserves to be honoured with the Superbrands Personality of the Year Award.”
Special prices for Plant-for-the-Planet and Plan International
In addition to the strong brands that were honored as “Superbrands Germany,” two organizations again received an honorary award. Plant-for-the-Planet and Plan International were honored as “Honorary Superbrands 2023/2024.”
Model, entrepreneur and Superbrands juror Barbara Meier gave the laudatory speeches for both organizations. She emphasized: “As a mother, I appreciate the work of these organizations even more, which look internationally, do not look away and help the weakest in our society or are committed to climate protection. An absolutely deserved award as Honorary Superbrands for Plant-for-the-Planet and Plan International.”
Moderator and presentation coach Frederick Wettey led the evening of the awards ceremony. With more than 15 years of stage experience, he led the audience through the program with charm and humor. The two artists Oscar Kaufmann and Bertan Canbeldek showed impressive acrobatic performances – Oscar Kaufmann on the Cyr Wheel and Bertan Canbeldek juggling.
All awards were presented by Superbrands Germany Director András Wiszkidenszky. He said of the successful award ceremony: “I am proud that we were once again able to recognize outstanding brands this year and honor Isabell Werth, an exceptional athlete. Our numerous guests experienced an unforgettable evening and my team and I are already looking forward to the next season of Superbrands Germany.”

According to a report, Stefan Raab is getting reinforcements for his boxing match against Regina Halmich. An Olympic hero is at his side.
In his comeback in front of the TV camera, Stefan Raab is leaving no stone unturned to get in shape for his third boxing match against former world champion Regina Halmich. According to a report in the “Bild” newspaper, the TV entertainer has hired prominent support for his training: The bronze medalist from the Olympic Games in Paris, Nelvie Tiafack, will be Raab’s trainer.
The 25-year-old from Cologne, who will soon be turning professional, is to prepare Raab for the exhibition fight, which will take place next Saturday in Düsseldorf. There was no confirmation of the report at first. The fight is scheduled for a maximum of six rounds of two minutes each. RTL will broadcast the spectacle live.
However, Raab’s preparations go beyond training with Tiafack. In addition to sessions in a Cologne boxing studio, the entertainer has also hung up sandbags in his own apartment for additional training, according to “Bild”. Raab has already fought Halmich twice – and lost both times. Halmich even broke Raab’s nose once.
However, he wants to return to Cologne again and again for his free time. If Tiafack does indeed move abroad, his mother will probably not accompany him. She wants to continue working in Germany and look after refugees.
For this achievement, special praise comes from a coaching legend!
Former Liverpool coach Jürgen Klopp (57) is happy for our swimming hero Taliso Engel (22).
On Thursday evening, the Nuremberg athlete celebrated his second gold medal at the Paralympics. The world champion clocked a time of 1:01.90 minutes in the 100-meter breaststroke.
The former Premier League coach, who left the Reds in the summer after 489 games on the sidelines, immediately congratulated him on social media.
In his Insta story, Klopp wrote: “22 years old and already the second Paralympic gold medal – WOW. Congratulations. It was a pleasure to meet you in the German House.”

Klopp is a big fan of the Paralympics. Last week he visited the French capital to cheer on the German-New Zealand badminton player Wojtek Czyz (44) in the stands at the Place de la Concorde.
However, that didn’t help much. The multiple Paralympic champion (who was still competing for Germany at the time) was eliminated in the first round by Briton Daniel Bethell.
Afterwards, Klopp also stopped by the German House – and met gold hero Taliso Engel, among others.

Despite his Paralympics victory, the Franconian was not satisfied with his final run.
Engel after the race: “Of course it bothers me that I didn’t improve the world record from the morning in the evening. Unfortunately, I messed up the turn and didn’t get off to a good start. But that’s complaining at a high level. I’m just happy that I’ve defended my gold medal here again.”
Background: Before the GOLD final, he set a new world record of 1:01.84 minutes in the preliminary round – just like his team colleague Elena Semechin (30) did that evening. After their award ceremonies, both celebrated their gold medals at the edge of the pool.

“Klopp friend” Taliso Engel has also had tough years. In the winter of 2023, the para-athlete suddenly developed severe pain in his right ear due to a severe middle ear infection during training camp and at some point he could no longer hear anything at all.
Last year, he underwent a complex operation to implant a hearing implant. With the help of a snorkel, which helped him keep his head more still in the water, he returned to the top of the world and has now secured GOLD again at the Paralympic Games.

Now Engel has another big dream: At some point he wants to compete in the Olympic Games. Ideally in 2028 in Los Angeles.
Klopp would probably like that too!
Malaika Mihambo won the silver medal at the Olympic Games, but had to seek medical attention afterwards. Now it is clear what will happen to her in 2024.
Long jump star Malaika Mihambo has cancelled her participation in the ISTAF in Berlin on Sunday. The Olympic silver medalist from Paris is ending her season early due to the consequences of her corona infection, as the organisers of the athletics meeting announced.
“The after-effects of my corona infection in June are unfortunately still noticeable. In consultation with my doctors, I have decided to end the season early. My body needs rest so that I can soon start training again full of energy and strength,” Mihambo is quoted as saying. The corona infection had slowed the 30-year-old down in her preparations for the Olympics in Paris.
Mihambo also had difficulties during the competition at the Stade de France in Paris and had to be taken out of the stadium on a mobile chair after the long jump. ARD presenter Claus Lufen and expert Frank Busemann reported in parallel in the live broadcast that Mihambo “couldn’t breathe”. Later that evening, the athlete herself explained: “The last few weeks have been difficult for me. I had really bad problems with my lungs and it wasn’t easy to get through it. It was also mentally exhausting” (read more about that here).
Despite not taking part, Mihambo will still be at the Olympic Stadium. “I know that many fans were looking forward to cheering me on at the Istaf in Berlin and celebrating my silver medal with me. That’s why I will be at the stadium on Sunday and signing autographs,” the Tokyo Olympic champion explained.
