Battle ahead in the German sports movement. Alfons Hörmann, the current president of the National Olympic Committee (DOSB), took advantage of a public meeting to officially announce his candidacy for a new mandate. But the former boss of German skiing could find himself facing a major opponent. According to ARD, the president of the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF), Thomas Weikert, would also be ready to embark on the campaign. The German channel understands that he could count on solid support among the DOSB member federations. The election is scheduled for December 1, 2018 in Düsseldorf, during the organization's annual general meeting.
