Her spectacular victory crowns the years of effort and proves the tireless efforts of the coaching team around Carmen Palensky and Philipp Gaber.

The championship offered a captivating backdrop, because the competitions began on Friday morning. Nele Leinweber won second place in the U15 age group and thus won the title of European Vice Champion, while Adrian Fabry shone as a newcomer in the U16 with a strong third place.
