The German Olympic Committee (DOSB) has made its final round of nominations for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, meaning 92 athletes will represent Germany in the athletics programme from 12-21 August.

Six of Germany’s eight medallists from the 2012 Olympics feature on the team, including defending discus champion Robert Harting.

World shot put champion Christina Schwanitz, winner of the European title last weekend, is also among Germany’s top medal hopes.
