Having earned an Olympic silver medal in Rio de Janeiro, German footballers gave departing coach Horst Hrubesch a fond farewell from the game as he makes his way into retirement, while the players themselves showed that they are capable of competing with the very best. Although the final was lost 5-4 in the penalty shootout to hosts Brazil, the feeling in reflecting on the tournament is overwhelmingly positive, even more so than it was for Germany’s men’s last Olympic medal in Seoul in 1988. The German Olympians presented themselves extremely well throughout the tournament and in reaching the final, the team can regard it as a successful endeavour.
