One To Watch – Josco Wilke

Josco Wilke is a key player and top performer in the German national wheelchair rugby team. As the youngest player and newcomer to the team at the beginning, Wilke has developed into an indispensable part of the team, with his experience in field hockey also helping him. He was named best player at his first European Championship in Denmark in 2018 and has played an important key role in the team ever since.

The German national team last took part in the Beijing 2008 Paralympics. At the time, Wilke was seven years old and didn’t even know that the sport of wheelchair rugby even existed. Together with his team, Wilke will give everything to fulfill his dream and to take part in the Paralympics and take his team to success after a 16-year wait.
