Overview

• Langrehr, a two-time world champion and Olympian, will relocate to Charlotte, North Carolina this year and will no longer compete for Germany.
• She was removed from all DVMF squads; her Bundeswehr contract ends on October 31, and her appeal over a missed qualification norm has been pending for months at the federation’s arbitration body.
• The DVMF has operated with rival presidia since April, disrupting events, and Langrehr did not compete in any competitions this year.
• At an extraordinary meeting in Frankfurt to resolve leadership before a September 15 deadline for the court-appointed interim board, Vice President Jan Veder initially ordered security to remove Langrehr and Patrick Dogue, later apologizing.
• Co-athlete representative Dogue was also dropped from squads and left the Bundeswehr; he says he will have to end his career and warns insolvency could follow by October 1 without a majority-backed presidium, while federal funding depends on proper governance.
