Overview
- On BR24Sport's Pizza & Pommes, Denise Herrmann-Wick and Gesa Krause described systemic gaps that leave childcare and logistics to athletes themselves.
- Krause said she lost sponsors after becoming a mother and warned that financial insecurity deters athletes from having children mid‑career.
- She returned to top competition roughly a year after giving birth in April 2023, including a start at the Paris Olympics.
- Herrmann-Wick voiced a wish to see more mothers in the World Cup and cited France as a country with more practiced reintegration.
- Host Felix Neureuther recounted similar hurdles in Germany, and a follow-up podcast episode is scheduled for November 26.
