I'm so happy that I was able to make it to 120 games for Germany; 175 games would have been possible. I've had many great moments, but particularly the way the fans supported me and the road to the final in Rio.

The small teams are playing well. That's visible, and it has had an impact on German football.

I will travel a lot after my career.

I had a lot of pressure in my career: when you play at World Cup or Champions League final, there is pressure on your shoulders.

Of course I want to look well and fit - and as an athlete, I want to look strong.

Sailing a boat calls for quick action, a blending of feeling with the wind and water as well as with the very heart and soul of the boat itself. Sailing teaches alertness and courage, and gives in return a joyousness and peace that but few sports afford.

I think badminton has a real legacy with more youngsters taking up the sport. Badminton has done really well in that regard compared to other sports.

I grew up playing basketball and baseball. I've always been active because my dad played professional football, so sports and working out have always been a part of my life.
