A total of 201 athletes from Bonn were invited to the award ceremony. Most of them accepted the Mayor of Bonn's invitation and received their certificates in person. The athletes won titles in the following sports: badminton, baseball, basketball, biathletics, fencing, floorball, handbiking, jahnkampf, judo, canoeing, canoe slalom, laser run, para-cycling, quidditch, roller figure skating, roundnet, rowing, chess, swimming, softball, taekwondo, dancing, triathletics and triathlon. Some athletes were unable to attend as they were away due to competitions or were preparing for them.

Mayor of Bonn Dörner warmly congratulated the athletes: "I am delighted to be able to honor more than 100 Bonn athletes today. That is a number we can be proud of. It also shows how diverse sport is in our city. Our aim is to promote recreational, competitive, elite and school sport," she emphasized. The city of Bonn therefore provides sports clubs with around 1.6 million euros in funding every year.

Katja Dörner also thanked the club chairpersons, coaches, trainers and officials: "Your work helps to ensure that athletes can train in good conditions. Clubs are more important than ever for urban society - as places of social cohesion and as training camps for democracy."
