Sports have always been a central part of Jannik’s life. From an early age, he displayed a love for movement and a keen interest in various sports. In addition to classic sports like soccer and volleyball, Jannik has explored a wide range of activities, including inline hockey and badminton. His determination was evident from a young age, culminating in his victory at the Northern German Championship in slalom kart racing in 2008.

Track and field was always more in focus, along with the other sports. In addition to smaller successes at the regional level, Tim was able to achieve his first major success at the Swabian championship over 800m.
- 2015-2021
After concluding his active soccer career, Jannik shifted his focus more towards classic fitness and functional training. While he participated in smaller running competitions, his primary focus on sports was for health and wellness purposes.
- 2018
After a smaller break from competition, he accidentally became aware of a new trend sport which was then called “Currox” (now “Hyrox”). Tim immediately tried his hand at the Pro category in 2018 and surprisingly qualified for the World Championships in Oberhausen, where he won the World Championship title in the 16-24 age group.

Jannik discovered the emerging sport of Hyrox online and immediately signed up out of curiosity. Enthusiastic about the sport, he tailored his training to focus on Hyrox and decided to participate in another event. Additionally, he started working at a specialized Hyrox gym, where he was able to share his passion for the sport with others.
- 2022-2023
Jannik’s competitive spirit was ignited, and he was able to consistently improve his performance. Competing in an elite race, earning the Vice World Champion title in his age group (U24) in Manchester, and achieving several event victories have been the highlights of his burgeoning career. In addition to his success in Hyrox, he also improved in running, achieving a time of 2 hours and 41 minutes in his second Berlin Marathon.

The 2023/2024 Hyrox season was an up and down experience for our coach Jannik – while his health stood in the way of his personal best at the start of the season, he set his previous best time in the Pro in Berlin with 56:27 minutes.
At the Hyrox World Championships in Nice, Jannik took third place in his age group U24 and also finished runner-up in the Pro Double.
