Sabine Winter is German table tennis champion in doubles for the sixth time.
In the individual, the Hechendorferin won bronze.
Hechendorf
- When the award ceremonies were held at the 89th German Championships in the ÖVB Arena in Bremen, a professional table tennis player from Hechendorf stood on the podium twice. Just like a year and a half ago, but back then with Nina Mittelham (TTC Berlin eastside), Sabine Winter won the title in the doubles competition. In the individual, as in Saxony, it was “only” enough to achieve bronze due to a semi-final defeat against Mittelham. “Having a title in your luggage is a nice thing,” reported the 28-year-old immediately before her return trip.
For winter it was the sixth national championship title in women's doubles in the past eleven years. The fact that the top player of the Bundesliga club TSV Schwabhausen won these gold medals with five different partners speaks for her outstanding qualities. "It was a lot of fun every time," emphasized Sabine Winter. This time it went into the pits with Laura Tiefenbrunner (SV DJK Kolbermoor). The duo still knew each other from their time together in Schwabhausen and has already triumphed once in the Bavarian championships.
In the Hanseatic city, the duo only gave two sentences in the four encounters.
In the final there was an 11: 9, 11: 4 and 11: 9 success against Jessica Göbel (TTC Berlin eastside) and Tanja Krämer (TSV 1909 Langstadt), who surprisingly beat Mittelham and Kristin in the semi-finals Lang (SV DJK Kolbermoor) had prevailed.
“Already in the first game I noticed that we still work well together.
Before the tournament, however, I didn't expect to be able to win gold. "
There was also praise from the finalists.
“Sabine and Laura were clearly better today and didn't make any simple mistakes.
Unfortunately, we couldn't build on our performance from the game before, ”said Krämer.
Sabine Winter wanted to be at the top of the podium at the individual ceremony. But the renewed attempt in Bremen also went wrong. The sports soldier from Hechendorf fulfilled her position with her entry into the semifinals and the bronze medal she won, “but I'm still a bit disappointed. I can definitely play better, I did my duty with third place, but didn't play anything terrific. "
With sovereign successes against Leonie Berger (TTC GW Staffel / 4: 0), Katharina Michajlova (TTC GW Staffel / 4: 2) and Franziska Schreiner (TSV 1909 Langstadt / 4: 1) Schwabhausen's number one played in the last four.
In an exciting new edition of the semifinals from last year, Winter had to admit defeat to Nina Mittelham again - this time with 6:11, 13:11, 8:11, 11: 9, 11: 9, 9:11 and 9:11.
“There wasn't much missing for the final, although there was still room for improvement in terms of play,” concluded Winter.
Mittelham won the final against Chantal Mantz (TSV 1909 Langstadt) and took gold for the third time in a row.
