Young swimming stars break records at the Förde Cup in Flensburg

The impressive performance of young swimmers from Niebüll at the Flensburg Fördepokal once again showed that talent and hard work pay off. In an exciting competition that took place in a hall for over two days, the athletes could not only achieve personal best, but also set up 15 new district records. The balance of head coach Kirsten Nielsen was consistently positive, and her pride in the athletes was clearly noticeable.

The records that have been led in a circle for over 30 years are a yardstick for the performance of the swimmers and have an extra proud feeling. "A record is always something special," said Nielsen and emphasized that such successes are not commonplace.

outstanding individual services

The performance of Gretje Amber Petersen, a 10-year-old who cracked five records, is particularly worth mentioning. She set up new best times over 50m freestyle, 100m freestyle, 200m freestyle, 50m chest and 100m layers. Her times exceeded the previous records, some of which have existed for more than two decades. College of the year Stine Singhavirat also contributed to the records by setting up the best times over 50m and 100m back.

also Runa Thiesen, 13 years old, was one of the outstanding swimmers and also reached five new records. Her times over 100m, 200m and 400m freestyle show that she has established itself in the freestyle disciplina. In addition, she confirmed her versatility with records in the layer competitions.

The performance of the Niebüller swimmers is not only limited to the younger ones. Hagen Möller (14), Jule Erichsen (15) and Martje Summer Petersen (13) also contributed important records. Möller set up a new record over 50m back and was therefore faster than the former top talent from Niebüll. Erichsen cracked her own record over 100m, while Petersen set a new standard over 200m butterfly.

team strength and future outlook

The team was also strong in the relay competitions and was able to win the trophy in the 4 × 50 freestyle relay of the girls. The various victory celebrations and the allocation of equipment pockets round off the impressive overall picture of the event.

"We are pleased to give younger athletes such as Julian Schneider and York Bennet Petersen the opportunity to take part in such large events," said Nielsen optimistically about the future of talented young athletes. With these experiences in the back you are well prepared for future challenges.

The next few days and weeks promise other exciting competitions. The next big highlight for the swimmers will soon be pending when the national championship on the 25m train in Kiel is imminent. This is followed by the intensive preparation for the 2nd Bundesliga north of the men after the autumn holidays.
