The Deutsches Sportabzeichen, the German sports badge, celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2013. It is earned against fixed tables, not against other athletes. Candidates pass one exercise in each of four groups: endurance, strength, speed and coordination. Each exercise earns 1 point for bronze, 2 for silver or 3 for gold. Bronze level is needed in every group. Proof of swimming ability is also required, every five years for adults.
