  • German ParaAthletic Champhionship 2025

    On 14th of June I attendend the German ParaAthletic Championship 2025 in Leichlingen. I ran 400m again with Simon as my Guide. The day was very hot. Our preparation was a bit hurried, because I mixed up some times. But nonetheless we did a good warmup and went to the start. From the get go I held back a bit, because eof the 34 degress celsius. I just should’ve given it all. I did the bigger steps right from the start instaed of accelarating with smaller steps to top speed first. So in the end i got a new PB with 70.23, but my trainer and guide agreed I left some seconds on the track. Hope to do better next week in Vienna!

  • 3. Chemnitz Every Man Showdown Tournament

    3. Chemnitz Every Man Showdown Tournament

    On the 16th of November, I attended the 3rd Every Man Showdown Tournament. The tournament was held at the blind school in Chemnitz. A total of 23 people competed. One set was played against a random opponent over 5 rounds.

    The start was a bit bumpy. Some slow balls went in because I had trouble hearing the ball on the oldest table. However, I won the first game anyway. After that, I improved and managed to win all 5 of my games. As a result, I won the tournament and received a beautiful handmade clay cup as a prize. I was really happy and am now looking forward to playing in the C Division South in February in Frankfurt.
