Treasured couple’s sad Paris Olympics village split
A much-loved, colourful Olympics couple have announced their separation just days after one of them won a gold medal.
Paris 2024 stars Lara Vadlau and Lea Schuller have announced their break up just days 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 the French capital.
The pair enjoyed immense success during the Olympic Games, The Sun reports.
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 with the reasons 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.
