Dazu bedarf es weiterer Unterstützung sowie finanzieller Mittel."
Zum Verein gehören neben Oruz: Leonie Fiebig (Bobfahren), Jasmin Grabowski (Judo), Mats Grambusch (Hockey), Johannes Große (Hockey), Joshua Hartmann (Leichtathletik), Valeska Knoblauch (Para-Badminton), Nike Lorenz (Hockey), Pia Maertens (Hockey), Andreas Mies (Tennis), Christopher Rühr (Hockey), Lukas Schiwy (Sitzvolleyball), Julia Sonntag (Hockey), Felix Streng (Para-Leichtathletik), Matyas Szabo (Fechten), Nelvie Tiafack (Boxen), Martyna Trajdos (Judo), Sarah Voss (Turnen), Anna-Maria Wagner (Judo) und Alexander Wieczerzak (Judo).
