Olympian reveals split from footballer girlfriend during Paris 2024 Games just days after winning gold medal
PARIS 2024 stars Lara Vadlau and Lea Schuller have broken up shortly after they both won medals at the Olympics.
Austrian sailor Vadlau, 30, and German footballer Schuller, 26, had been dating for over three years and hoped to spend some time together in France.
The pair went on to enjoy immense success during the Olympic Games.
Vadlau won gold on Thursday in the mixed dinghy event alongside partner Lukas Maehr.
And Bayern Munich star Schuller picked up a bronze medal after Germany‘s 1-0 victory over Spain on Friday’s third-place play-off.
However, the couple decided to split up and the reasons are currently unknown.
Vadlau announced their separation but insists she still cares for her ex and they remain “very good friends”.
The Austrian also congratulated her for her performances and stated she is “very proud” of her.
Vadlau told O3: “Lea is no longer my partner.
“Of course I am very proud of her and we are still very good friends and I am keeping my fingers crossed for her.”

The former couple openly shared their relationship across social media.
Together they would go on holiday and sometimes uploaded some daring pics.
However, they didn’t get to spend too much time together due to their conflicting training schedules.
Paris Olympics with 300k condoms
Nearly 15,000 residents – around 10,500 of which are athletes – will be cramming into the Olympic village between July 26 and August 11.
To ensure the athletes feel at home, a number of provisions have been made by organisers.
One of these is the stocking of some 300,000 condoms, in theory enough for around two every day during the run of the Games.
A number of Olympic athletes have opened the door on their steamy lives behind-the-scenes when in camp, including huge sex orgies and parties.
London 2012 had claimed the title of “the raunchiest Games ever”, but the 150,000 condoms ordered paled in comparison to the 450,000 ordered for the Rio Games four years later.
Condoms have been laid on by organisers at every game since Seoul 1988, when it they were used to spread awareness of HIV and AIDS.
Even with an intimacy ban at Tokyo 2020 due to Covid-19, some 150,000 johnnies were handed out.
