Neubrandenburg is known as city of sports (''Sportstadt''). The city is famous for being home to various Olympic medal winners and talents in sports, especially in canoeing ([[Andreas Dittmer]], [[Martin Hollstein]]), discus throwing and shotputting ([[Astrid Kumbernuss]], [[Ralf Bartels]], [[Franka Dietzsch]]) and running ([[Katrin Krabbe]]). Neubrandenburg was the location of both of the world record throws in [[Discus]], by [[Jürgen Schult]] in 1986 and by [[Gabriele Reinsch]] in 1988. The ''Jahnstadion'', the ''Jahnsportforum'' stadium, the ''Stadthalle'' and adjacent sport parks offer vast options for large sport and culture events. The city is also home to a dedicated sports elite school, the ''Sportgymnasium Neubrandenburg''.
