Laura leaves, Sabine, Alina and Mateja stay

"I didn't make the decision easy for myself and thought about it for a long time," reveals Laura Tiefenbrunner. The number five of the table tennis Bundesliga team TSV Schwabhausen ultimately decided to leave the club from the Dachau district after two years and to start serving their home club SV DJK Kolbermoor again on July 1, 2020.

"It's a shame that Laura is going," said TSV head coach Alexander Yahmed, adding: "Regarding the move, I was unfortunately presented with fait accompli."

Schwabhausen's coach had several conversations with father Elmar Tiefenbrunner about his daughter's future. The 18-year-old, on the other hand, negotiated independently with the top from Kolbermoor. "I don't blame Laura," Yahmed clarified. "She probably did it carelessly." Laura Tiefenbrunner wants to graduate in the next few months and then wants to "study nearby." I don't know what exactly yet. But I will definitely stay at home. "

In the coming season, the student will complete six missions in the 1st Bundesliga and eight to ten matches in the Bundesliga lower house for her training club. The rise of Kolbermoor's reserve in the 2nd Bundesliga is only a matter of form. Until then, the former youth international would like to say goodbye to the loyal fans in the Heinrich Loder sports hall with good performances.

Due to the corona virus pandemic, however, it is not yet clear when and how many games the fifth of the table will have to play (we reported). According to the game plan, there are still four games.

On the other hand, Sabine Winter has given her oral promise to serve for TSV Schwabhausen in the 2020/2021 season as well. “I've always felt very comfortable here. After we had achieved relegation with the team, it was clear to me that I would stay in Schwabhausen. ”

Sabine Winter hopes that in June she will have her high school diploma in Fürstenfeldbruck and will then return to her adopted home city of Düsseldorf to train there with the members of the executive team every day. "Of course we are very happy that Sabine stays," beamed Alexander Yahmed.

Like Winter, Alina Nikitchanka and Crystal Wang have extended their contract. The American Wang will start studying in her home country and, like in the current season, "should play some games for us," said Yahmed. The 18-year-old came five times in the current round.

The contract with Mateja Jeger runs until the end of the coming season. After hearing about the Tiefenbrunner change, Alexander Yahmed reacted quickly: "I took action immediately." Discussions with potential newcomers are ongoing, "but nothing has been decided yet." Marco Steinbrenner
