Germany

🇩🇪Jakob Domke
🇩🇪Lukas Kicherer

[Team presentation for Albufeira] We proudly present Germany 2 🇩🇪. Jakob and Lukas are skillful, young and ambitious. And they should be as the numbers 2 in the strong German winter ranking. Although both train in different clubs (Frankenthal and Darmstadt), they are a really balanced, powerful team that communicates well. One could call them rising stars, literally too, because their feet only touch the ground for 45% of game time. Good luck!

[Team presentation for Albufeira] We proudly present Italy 🇮🇹 and the italian stallions 🐴 Federico Iacopucci and Luca Marcaccini.
