Jean Paul Bredau (born 27 June 1999) is a German sprinter. He competed in the 4x400 metres men's relay at the 2020 and 2024 Olympic Games. He was a bronze medalist in the 4x400m relay at the 2024 European Athletics Championships.

Career

[edit]

He competed in the 4x400 m men's relay at the delayed 2020 Summer Olympics in August 2021 in Tokyo, Japan, in which his team was last in the heat, with a time of 3:03.62.[1]

At the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary, he finished seventh in the final of the mixed 4x400m relay.[2] At the Championships, he also ran in the German team in the men's 4x400 metres relay.[3] At the ISTAF Berlin in September 2023, he ran a personal best time of 44.96 seconds for the 400 metres.[4] The time moved him into the top-ten all-time German list and was the fastest by a German for 21 years.[5]

In May 2024, he ran as part of the German 4x400m relay team at the 2024 World Relays Championships in Nassau, Bahamas which qualified for the 2024 Paris Olympics, alongside Manuel Sanders, Marc Koch and Tyrel Prenz.[6] He ran as a member of the German team that won bronze at the 2024 European Athletics Championships in Rome in June 2024.[7] Koch, Sanders, Bredau and Emil Agyekum competed in the men's 4 x 400 metres relay at the 2024 Paris Olympics, and although they ran a sesson’s best time of 3:00.29, they did not qualify for the final.[8]

Personal life

[edit]

In 2024, he apologised for comments which criticised the German Athletics Association for their decision to omit his girlfriend Luna Bulmahn from the German mixed 4 x 400 metres relay team at the 2024 Olympic Games in favour of Alica Schmidt despite Bulmahn having the second quickest time in the relay pool at the distance.[9]
