Being an ambassador at the Rhine-Ruhr 2025 World University Games means a great deal to me, as it helps to raise more awareness for the sport of diving. Since Berlin is one of Germany’s largest sports cities, it is very special that diving will take place at the Rhine-Ruhr Games there, and I will have the support of the passionate home crowd. It’s also meaningful to compete in the venue where I train every day. Elena Wassen
