German Open Awards

It´s been some busy days after the German Open, so I just get to post and write now. Congratulations to Alex Ploner for winning the international German Open at Kandel overall, and also to Dirk Ripkens who won international and also national title as the new German Champion in rigid class. I am happy that I was able to update my German Champion women´s title as well!

The organizer and the volunteers did a great job setting up the biggest competition "after covid times" has seen yet! 

Big thanks also to the artist of the beautiful wooden trophies, Martin Schmidt, and to the local mayor of Gutach and his wife, Christine and Sebastian Rötzer, for looking after us with great local products like black forest cherry cake and the very famous "cherry water", a schnaps made from the tasty local cherries! My dad loves everthing I brought home for him, that way, even if my parents can´t travel anymore, they can at least participate sharing the goodies!
