ASCONA, Italy (Reuters) - Joshua Kimmich, whose meteoric rise has earned him a spot in Germany's preliminary Euro 2016 squad, says he wants to compete at the Olympics if he misses the cut for next month's tournament in France.

The versatile 21-year-old midfielder has had a sensational debut season at Bayern Munich, who won the domestic double, and is one of several youngsters picked by Germany coach Joachim Loew for a pre-European Championship training camp in Italy.
