**Benjamin "Benny" Kapp** (born 9 July 2002) is a German [curler](/source/Curling) from [Unterthingau](/source/Unterthingau).

## Career

### Juniors

Kapp had a successful junior career, skipping the German national junior men's team at three [World Junior Curling Championships](/source/World_Junior_Curling_Championships), and is a [2022](/source/2022_World_Junior_Curling_Championships) and [2023](/source/2023_World_Junior_Curling_Championships) silver medalist. Kapp also skipped the German mixed team at the [2020 Winter Youth Olympics](/source/Curling_at_the_2020_Winter_Youth_Olympics), finishing 8th after losing to New Zealand's [Hunter Walker](/source/Hunter_Walker_(curler)) 7–4 in the quarterfinals.

### Mens

While a still of junior age, Kapp would be the alternate on the German men's national team at the 2019 and 2023 editions of the [European Curling Championships](/source/European_Curling_Championships), and the 2022 [World Men's Curling Championship](/source/World_Men's_Curling_Championship).

Kapp would join as the third of the new German team skipped by [Marc Muskatewitz](/source/Marc_Muskatewitz) during the [2023–24 curling season](/source/2023%E2%80%9324_curling_season), alongside junior teammates [Felix Messenzehl](/source/Felix_Messenzehl) and [Johannes Scheuerl](/source/Johannes_Scheuerl). The new team would have a strong showing at the [2024 World Men's Curling Championships](/source/2024_World_Men's_Curling_Championship), finishing in 5th place after losing to Italy's [Joël Retornaz](/source/Jo%C3%ABl_Retornaz) in the playoffs. However, the team would build upon this success at the [2024 European Curling Championships](/source/2024_European_Curling_Championships), they would beat Scotland's [Bruce Mouat](/source/Bruce_Mouat) 9–7 in the final to win Germany's first European medal since 2008, and their first gold since 2004.[2] After winning the European Championships, the team qualified for their first Tier 1 [Grand Slam of Curling](/source/Grand_Slam_of_Curling) event, the [2024 National](/source/2024_National), where they had a strong showing, losing in the quarterfinals to [Mike McEwen](/source/Mike_McEwen_(curler)) 6–5. The team also continued to perform well on the world curling circuit, winning the [2024 Karuizawa International Curling Championships](/source/2024_Karuizawa_International_Curling_Championships). Muskatewtiz would then win the 2025 German Men's Championship against [Sixten Totzek](/source/Sixten_Totzek), qualifying the Muskatewitz rink to represent Germany at the [2025 World Men's Curling Championship](/source/2025_World_Men's_Curling_Championship).[3] At the 2025 World's, team Muskatewitz would finish the round robin with a 5–7 record, finishing outside of the playoffs in 8th place. However, the Muskatewitz rink's performance over the last two world championships earned Germany enough points to qualify directly for the [2026 Winter Olympics](/source/Curling_at_the_2026_Winter_Olympics). There, they would finish in 7th place with a 4–5 record. Team Muskatewitz would finish the season at the [2026 World Men's Curling Championship](/source/2026_World_Men's_Curling_Championship), where they would again finish outside of the playoffs in 9th place with a 4–8 record. At the end of the season, with Muskatewitz announcing that he will be taking a step back from competitive men's curling due to "personal reasons", Kapp moved up to the skip position of the German men's national team, alongside Messenzehl, Scheuerl, and [Mario Trevisiol](/source/Mario_Trevisiol).[4]

## Personal life

His father is two-time European champion curler and [coach](/source/Coach_(sport)) [Andy Kapp](/source/Andy_Kapp). The two were teammates at the [2019 World Mixed Curling Championship](/source/2019_World_Mixed_Curling_Championship) where their team won the silver medal.

Kapp works as a sport soldier.[1]
