Nick Woltemade was slated to leave Germany's camp in favor of U-21s, but is sticking around for France match
Nick Woltemade will join the U21 national team immediately and will not feature in Sunday's Nations League third place playoff
Julian Nagelsmann: 'We will send him to the U21s. We agreed that would be the case if we don't reach the final. I want to stick to the agreement so that they can have a good tournament.'
Well, not so fast...
After examining the exact schedule of the U-21s, Nagelsmann decided to keep Woltemade longer per Bild (via @iMiaSanMia):
Update: Change of plan for Woltemade. He will stay with the senior national team because the U-21s have Friday and Saturday off. The striker will train with the senior NT and will be in the squad in the third place match on Sunday, but he'll most likely be rested ahead of the U-21 EUROs.

Celebrating Wales' summer of women's sport
We have been treated to an amazing start to the incredible year in Welsh women's sport, with the Cymru Women's team reaching the Euros, their first ever major tournament. I don't know if you have watched the documentary on iPlayer but their journey from playing Germany in a field in Haverfordwest with their audience in the tens and a few horses, to their qualification for their first major tournament with some amazing women in Laura McAllister, Jayne Ludlow and Lowri Roberts (and of course Jess Fishlock!) helping them to rise from the point of not having a women's team at all, to competing at the highest level of international football. It has been a huge rush to see the mass of Wal Goch supporters in red taking to the streets in Switzerland and the excitement making no distinction between the gender of the players. READ MORE: Rassie Erasmus wades into Jac Morgan debate and gives surprise response READ MORE: Ex-Wallaby coach pays Jac Morgan huge compliment and names Lion who has been the difference Now, so excitingly, we welcome the Women's Open to Royal Porthcawl from July 30 to August 2. Darcey Harry from Dinas Powys, who last month won her first Ladies European Tour in the Hulencourt Women's Open in Belgium, will take to her home course against 143 others at the 49th open here in Wales. It is the first time the competition has been held on Welsh soil and for us all to have the opportunity to watch golfers from all over the world in our own backyard. Just weeks beyond this, the women's Rugby World Cup is to be held just over the bridge in England. Tickets are still available for many of the matches in Bristol and the huge competition will see Wales take on Scotland in the Salford Community stadium on the second day of the tournament. Only last week, we held an event with Glamorgan Cricket, as the women played Kent in a T20 fixture ahead of the men's. The women's team turning professional as the country's first-class cricket team marks a major investment into women's cricket at this level, and we know they're passionate about the youth teams too. The next challenge is how we ensure this focus lasts beyond the excitement of this summer of sport. As Cymru women's head coach Rhian Wilkinson has said recently, her talented international side needs playing time throughout the year at club level. Five of the squad were unattached at the time of the tournament. A player can be fabulous but if they aren't getting the time on the pitch throughout the year our side will not see the growth of the current players or the next generation. And so as we celebrate our national sides and the focus on the huge summer of women's sport in Wales and beyond, my caution is to not forget the need to invest and focus on women's sport the rest of the year and remember that we still have a need to develop sport for our young girls moving forward, particularly at the community level. We updated the Wikipedia pages of the Wales Squad before the Ewros and one story was repeated time and again, even with the youngest players: the brilliance of the girls shone out in the local clubs and then many of them had to stop playing in their area because there weren't girls clubs available for them to move into in their older years. If we want international success on the world stage, we must invest in our women and girls in the community.

Double Olympic champion Laura Dahlmeier dies in climbing accident aged 31, according to her management
Double Olympic champion Laura Dahlmeier has died in a climbing accident aged 31, her management and the German Olympic Sports Confederation (DOSB) confirmed to CNN Sports. The retired German biathlete was struck by falling rocks at around midday local time on Monday while climbing Pakistan's Laila Peak in the Karakoram mountain range, her team said on Instagram Tuesday. 'The DOSB and the whole of German sport mourn the loss of Laura Dahlmeier,' Thomas Weikert, President of the German Olympic Sports Confederation, said in a statement to CNN Sports. 'We are deeply shocked by the sudden and much too early death of this wonderful person. Our thoughts are with her family and friends and we will offer our support wherever we can. 'Laura was a role model and inspiration to so many of us in and out of sport. She always had clear goals in mind and pursued her dreams.' A rescue operation began on Monday after Dahlmeier's climbing partner, Marina Eva, sent out a distress signal. But due to low visibility and bad weather, the rescue operation had been unable to deploy its military helicopters, said Faizullah Faraq, a spokesman for the regional Gilgit-Baltistan government, per the Associated Press. Dahlmeier's team also said that the remoteness of the area meant that a rescue helicopter was only able to reach the scene of the accident and observe her on Tuesday morning. According to a statement from Dahlmeier's management on Wednesday, the biathlete specifically asked that no one should risk their life to rescue her or recover her body in the event of an accident. 'The family would like to express their heartfelt thanks to the rescue team, especially the local mountaineers,' her management team said in Wednesday's statement. 'They did everything possible to facilitate the rescue and reach the accident victim.' Dahlmeier, who is 31, made history at the 2018 Winter Olympics when she became the first female biathlete ever to win gold in both the sprint and pursuit events at the same Winter Games. That success came a year after she became the first biathlete to win five gold medals at a single world championship. She retired from the sport in 2019 at the age of 25. 'We say goodbye to a wonderful person,' her management team added in Wednesday's statement. 'With her warm and straightforward manner, Laura enriched our lives and the lives of many others. 'She showed us that it is worth fighting for your dreams and goals and always staying true to yourself. We are deeply grateful, dear Laura, that we were able to be a part of your life. Our shared memories give us the strength and courage to continue on our path.' DOSB President Weikert also paid tribute to the 31-year-old, writing: 'Laura Dahlmeier leaves behind a legacy that goes far beyond medals: her dedication to sport, her passion for nature and her commitment to society make her an inspiring personality. 'Her story remains. As a daughter, sister, friend, Olympian and biathlon legend. Laura will forever remain an integral part of Team Germany. We will miss her.'

Two-time Olympic gold medalist Laura Dahlmeier dead at 31 after climbing accident
German biathlete and two-time Olympic gold medalist Laura Dahlmeier died Monday in a climbing accident. She was 31. Dahlmeier's death was confirmed by her team in a post on Instagram. The German Olympic Sports Confederation (DOSB) also confirmed Dahlmeier's death in a statement to CNN. 'The DOSB and the whole of German sport mourn the loss of Laura Dahlmeier,' Thomas Weikert, president of the German Olympic Sports Confederation, said in a statement to CNN Sports. 'We are deeply shocked by the sudden and much too early death of this wonderful person. Our thoughts are with her family and friends and we will offer our support wherever we can. 'Laura was a role model and inspiration to so many of us in and out of sport. She always had clear goals in mind and pursued her dreams.' Dahlmeier was reportedly struck by a falling rock while climbing Laila Peak in Pakistan on Monday. Her climbing partner, Marina Eva, sent out a distress signal, but helicopters could not be dispatched due to low visibility and poor weather, per CNN. Helicopters were unable to reach the scene of the accident until Tuesday. Dahlmeier competed in both the 2014 and 2018 Winter Olympics. She did not medal in 2014, but made a name for herself in 2018, when she became the first woman to win the biathlon sprint and pursuit events during a single Olympics. Dahlmeier also won a bronze medal in the 15km individual event in 2018. Prior to the 2018 Olympics, Dahlmeier dominated at the Biathlon World Championships, securing five gold medals at the 2017. She won two additional golds at the World Championships, one in 2015 and one in 2016. In 2019, Dahlmeier retired from biathlon at 25. Following her retirement, Dahlmeier wrote a children's book, served as a biathlon commentator in Germany and competed in mountain running.
