German National Sport Badge
(Deutsches Reichssportabzeichen)
The 1913 Olympic Games generated considerable interest in physical training within Germany, which resulted in the institution of a national gymnastics and sports badge by the German National Committee for Physical Training.
While I studied abroad in Germany I received the German, Sports Badge through my german sport culture class. It was an honor to receive a badge from a country that has always taken athletics so seriously. Below is a translation of the website that promotes the German sport badge.
