Injuries:

He took up athletics at age six with the Turnerschaft Grossauheim club in Germany, before moving to TG Hanau. (julianreus.de, 21 May 2015; julian-reud.de, 27 Jul 2012)

Reason:

At age 11 he moved to a sports school and joined the local athletics club in Erfurt, Germany, to concentrate on athletics. He began focusing on sprinting at age 15. "It was the best combination of school and sport, which was the biggest reason to take that step. I was over 200 kilometres from home and only got the train home to visit my family on the weekends, which made the first few years a bit of a marathon because of my homesickness." (julianreus.de, 21 May 2015)

Ambition:

After his athletics career he would like to study for a master's degree in business administration. (bild.de, 31 Mar 2020)
