McDonald wins all-German junior final
Paris: Niels McDonald became the first German in 28 years to win the French Open junior title on Saturday, 6-7 (5-7), 6-0, 6-3 over compatriot Max Schonhaus. Cardiff-born McDonald prevailed in a duel of 17-year-olds after 1 hour 40 minutes in the first ever all-German junior final at Roland Garros. He is the first German since Daniel Elsner in 1997 to win the junior event in Paris, and the first from his country at all majors since Alexander Zverev at the 2014 Australian Open. 'I am extremely happy to have won here,' McDonald said. 'But it is just the first step in the big dream I want to fulfil. We will celebrate today and tomorrow, but then it is back to work. So that I can play here on the big stage one day.' Having two players in the final is good news for the German Tennis Federation (DTB) which has come under criticism for a lack of success and rising talent. World number three Zverev is Germany's only top player but he is yet to win a Grand Slam title. (DPA)

German gymnastics body vice president steps down amid abuse scandal
German Gymnastics Federation (DTB) vice president Ulla Koch is stepping down amid the investigation into an abuse affair in the sport, the federation said in a statement on Thursday. The 69-year-old had already temporarily stepped away in January in the wake of a series of allegations of abuse in German gymnastics "so as not to jeopardize the investigation and processing of the incidents," she was quoted in the statement. "After careful consideration and to prevent the areas for which I was responsible as vice president from having to continue to be shaped by proxy as a result of this leave, I would like to step down from my position," she said. Koch was DTB vice president since November 2021. Before that, she was women's gymnastics team coach from March 2005 to September 2021. Allegations of abuse in the sport have emerged since late December 2024, led by former elite gymnasts Tabea Alt and Michelle Timm, who have spoken about issues at the Stuttgart training centre, including "systematic physical and mental abuse." There have also been allegations of harsh and authoritarian training methods at the training centre in Mannheim. Coaches have been suspended and police is also investigating.

Former gymnasts criticize DTB over reappraisal of abuse allegations
Former German top gymnasts have criticized the governing body DTB over its way of dealing with abuse allegations at training centres and called for a fully independent investigation in an open letter. The DTB has asked a Frankfurt law firm three weeks ago to help clear up the accusations centring on the Stuttgart and Mannheim training centres. But the letter signed by 28 people, including parents, coaches and athletes such as Olympic bronze medallist Sophie Scheder, said that a similar move after accusations against the Chemnitz training centre showed that final results could be influenced by DTB interests. They want the deal with the law firm to be terminated, and that the DTB has started asking people to submit their contact data to the company. "We are very concerned that the German Gymnastics Federation wants to create facts and pre-empt a possible independent investigation," the letter said. In the letter also addressed to the ministry overseeing sports in the state of Baden-Württemberg and its regional sports umbrella organizations, they call for a fully independent probe. It called on the ministry to ensure "that no investigation commissioned by the German Gymnastics Federation is carried out to clarify past facts under the financial shadow of the German Gymnastics Federation." The DTB told dpa it would comment on the open letter on Friday. Allegations emerged in December, with former elite gymnasts Tabea Alt and Michelle Timm speaking out about the Stuttgart training centre, detailing what they saw as "systematic physical and mental abuse" and "catastrophic conditions." Others have followed and the affair has spread to the Mannheim training centre through accusations of authoritarian training methods. Two Stuttgart coaches have been suspended, and a former Stuttgart coach is under investigation on suspicion of coercion in several cases, with police conducting searches on Thursday.

Investigation and searches in German gymnastics abuse affair
German authorities have started an investigation against a former coach of the gymnastics training centre in Stuttgart and carried out searches in the wake of abuse allegation. The Stuttgart prosecutor's office said on Thursday that the probe is on suspicion of coercion in several cases. It said that several properties were searched and documents seized. According to dpa information, the offices of the regional Swabian Gymnastics Federation (STB) and the Stuttgart training centre were among the properties searched. The German Gymnastics Federation (DTB) welcomed the investigation and stressed that neither it nor its officials were suspects.
