Final result: European- and World Championship-
seletion, as well as the World Cup


In the last A-final run, I unfortunately had a great run, but in one section a big mistake, that cost me several seconds. Finally I couldn´t hold the third place and fell back from the early 3rd position on the 5th place in the overall standings. I would have been glad if it had worked with the World Championship Qualification this year.
Nevertheless, I am looking forward to the next and hopefully better selection result next year.

Final selection-result in K1 men:

1st  place - Aigner
2nd place - Grimm
3th  place - Schubert
4th  place - Maxeiner
5th  place - Kraus

Videos from the Int. C Competition, as well as the selection race will follow.

German Cup-Winner, German Master in the team and bronze in the Singles

It weren´t many competitions for me this year, but on this 9 competitions I had good results.
I could also achieve very good results
this weekend.

After my 7 th German Championship title I could also be glad about the 7 th German Cup win and conclude the almost perfect competition weekend with the 3 rd place in the single finale.
Paul Böckelmann from Leipzig has deservingly won before Sebastian Schubert from Hamm.

Hand arthritis in Bratislava and 4 th place in Ötz (AUT)

Unfortunately I couldn´t reach the semi-final at the Pre-World-Championship with about 9 hundredths of seconds. Otherwise I was glad to miss the semi-finals because of very strong pains in the left wrist.

Hannes won this race with the new boat, the Sonic from gala sport. Kanu-Sport-Stahl will make available shortly also the success-test boat for all weight classesouverän und vor allem auch verdient gewonnen hat Hannes mit dem neuen Boot, dem Sonic von Galasport. Kanu-Sport-Stahl wird in Kürze auch das Erfolgs-Testboot für alle Gewichtsklassen zur Verfügung stellen.

Vollgepumpt mit Schmerzmitteln konnte ich aber dennoch mein Können unter Beweis stellen und konnte beim A-Ranglistenrennen in Ötz den 4. Platz im Einzel und den Sieg im Teamwettbewerb erreichen.

Beim A-Ranglistenzwischenstand vor dem letzten Rennen liege ich
momentan hinter Sebastian Schubert und Alexander Grimm auf Rang 3.

Position 5, 6 and 7 at the selection races

After the first three competitions with the places 5, 6 and 7 in the A finale, I come away empty-handed in the U23- Category.

Also with very steady and good results it´s not enough for the German Canoe Federation to make the U23 national team.

The trainer's council is speaking from in the long term good  development possibilities for young paddlers and proves the opposite with me!

Besides, U23 paddlers like me are also deserted for the whole competition season!

After the first 3 competitions I was laying on the overall position 5 and can only look forward for the German Championship.

In my opinion, long-term sports developments for young paddlers must be formed very much better! The qualification runs in Leipzig and Augsburg was not a loss for me! I didn´t crazed myself or get nervously but rather was looking for the selection races!

Top priority will be the the University in business informatics with 10 exams and some practical training to the end of July but the hard training will be still the same!

Qualification to the European- and World Championship

The selection run´s for the German-National-Team will start in Markkleeberg tomorrow. The final run´s will be in Augsburg next week.


Here are some pictures from the Snowkajak World Championship in Lienz (AUT).

  I won the first and second run and retired in the quarterfinal.

New Galasport boat and a completely red paddle





This year Galasport developed a new slalom kayak, the Echo which is the next development of the Toro Evo! The new Echo is simply brilliant, with the intensified volume in the tail, the Echo is turning almost by itself! Moreover you have a better feeling with the new narrow seat in addition to the perfectly adapted thigh braces! I tested the new boat together with Alex Grimm and we are very surprised by the new Echo!

I´m also paddling with the new Galasport paddle, the Naja Maxi DTB MCQ, which is as well an absolutely innovation from Galasport! This paddle is not only lightly also very tough! The change from a straight shaft to an ergo-shaft was very simple and makes a lot of fun!

Manuela und Andreas Stahl gave me not a normal paddle, they brought me a completely red paddle, which made me very happy!

The team of Kanu-Sport-Stahl is paddling with painted paddles and also Melanie Pfeifer is certainly happy about her pink paddle!

Thanks a lot to Kanu-Sport-Stahl!
02.02.2010 Semester break

In the last 3 weeks I had to reduce the training most intensive, because of many examinations! Now, the exam period is finally over and I´m looking forward to train a lot! Together with the Bavarian-Canoe-Federation we will go to Solkan (SLO) for training next week.

Women´s football Germany - USA

                        

Yesterday, I were in the brand-new "Impuls Arena" in Augsburg for watching the women´s football Germany against the USA. It was a nice experience, because the stadium was completely sold out! Although Germany lost the match, this was still a good advertisement for the upcoming women´s Worldchamps in Augsburg 2011!

21.09.2009 German Champion in Hohenlimburg

Yesterday I was able to win the German Championship together with Fabian Dörfler and Lukas Kalkbrenner in Hohenlimburg!
Unfortunately the second place at the German Cup was finally the end result this year!

Nevertheless I can be very happy about my sixth title at the German Championships and even the fourth place in the individual was a great success!

The German Championship was the last race in a very successful competition season 2009!

Shoulder dislocation in the canoe slalom

Ole Siegismund from the University of Magdeburg conducted some measurements from my shoulder last week.

Ole fixed my entire right arm with numerous electrodes and also did some force measurements from my shoulder. I also had to do a test in my boat, when he unexpectedly tipped me on the side with full tilt to check out the max power of my shoulder! I´m glad that my shoulder is still all right after all this hard tests and I hope Ole will evaluate his measurements easily.

The aim was to see, which forces are exposed on my shoulder in the canoe slalom and how to prevent shoulder dislocation in  sports.

Here are some photos

  New boat  

Last week I got the new Toro Evolution from Galasport for the training- and competition season 2009.

My new boat is fast and especially in upstream-gates it comes off very well, so that it is easily to drive.

All in all it looks brilliant and makes me happy!

Thank´s a lot to

08.11.2008 Sports instructor training in Sonthofen

                  

At the moment I do a sports instructor training from the German Sports Army in Sonthofen.
It´s an excellent conditional training and together with Jan Benzien also very amusingly. Six hour sport and about two hour theory are on the plan every day.
We do a lot of jogging, swimming, cycling, rock climbing, mountaineering, weight training,...
It´s a nice time and I will become a sports instructor in four weeks.
13.10.2008 Vietnam was a great experience

Vietnam is a wonderful country, with marvellous landscapes, beautiful beaches, fantastic mountainous regions, buoyant people, incredible roads traffic and a lot more!

But Vietnam has also another side.

Completely destroyed and overcrowded roads, now and than streets are punctuated with brown mud and red brickearth, which makes
many main roads impassable.

Many children have no or rather just a little school education and as a result bad future prospects. Farmers work very hard, air their homegrown vegetables and rice on the roadside and live in serried ranks of  shabby little huts. You can see many water buffaloes lying in the rice fields and white ducks are flying across the sky and you feel to see snowflakes aboveground. I saw economically weaker regions with hopeless poorness, where people have no laughing matter!

It was my year-loang wish to travel 4000 Km trough Vietnam! I am glad that I could do it with my old class mate!

Here are some photos from Vietnam
