How it was won
Germany won four of the five titles at the European Championships in Warsaw, which were due to be played in September 2020 and were put back to June 2021 by the pandemic. Both singles finals were all-German: Timo Boll beat Dimitrij Ovtcharov for the men's title and Petrissa Solja beat Shan Xiaona for the women's.
Solja and Shan then won the women's doubles together, beating their teammates Nina Mittelham and Sabine Winter, and Mittelham won the mixed doubles with Dang Qiu. The one title Germany did not win was the men's doubles, which went to Russia's Lev Katsman and Maksim Grebnev.
