It is going well for "Exquisa Oberbayern": The gymnastics team won their second win in the second division.

The Weilheimer Manuel Förster experienced light and shadow during this competition.

District - What Manuel Förster said exactly could not be determined.

But according to the movements of the Weilheimer's mouth, it wasn't really ready for printing.

The expression on his face spoke volumes anyway: Förster was pissed off.

The gymnast from "

Exquisa Oberbayern

" failed in the

last element of his floor exercise

.

He couldn't do the double somersault with a twist, Förster had to really roll off.

The gymnasts call it “making the beetle”.

Exquisa Oberbayern: Clear victory against KTV Ries

Annoying for Förster - because up until then he had shown a strong exercise with only a few wobbles.

The opponent from KTV Ries knew how to take advantage of the mishap, the guests got three score points.

But the Weilheimer is now so experienced that a mistake will not throw him off balance.

At the end of the second division competition, he still had a job on the "king's device" bar.

And there he delivered a sparkling clean performance.

He did the flying element Markelev as elegantly as the eagle swings and the endo straddle.

As a finish, the 24-year-old showed a double somersault with a full turn;

He safely put it "in the state".

Manuel Förster clenched his fist cheering and smiled - the mistake from the floor was forgotten.

Since the opponent had some difficulties in the following exercise, the Weilheimer collected a whopping five score points.

At the end of the day, the whole squad could be happy.

Exquisa Oberbayern: Manuel Förster scores five points on the horizontal bar

With 65:20 points, Upper Bavaria clearly won against the guests from Nördlingen.

“Exquisa” was ahead of the pack on all six devices.

It was only tight on the rings (9: 8).

On the floor (11: 3) and on the horizontal bar (10: 4), where Förster did gymnastics, the conditions were clear.

As a result of the success, the "Exquisa" squad in Season B of the 2nd Bundesliga South is now the sole leader of the table.

The third and last competition should have taken place on November 14th against the still winless TG Allgäu.

But due to the recently decided lockdown, the fight is canceled.

How the season will continue is still unclear.

The German Gymnastics League wants to first check all the regulations of the authorities and then as soon as possible "bring about a decision as to whether it still makes sense to stick to the league in 2020," said President Jens-Uwe Kunze.

The corona virus played

a decisive role in the

TSV Buttenwiesen

competition

in season A.

The team, in which the Peitinger Fabian Ullrich and Moritz Kraus do gymnastics, came to a victory without a fight, because VfL Kirchheim could not arrive at short notice.

One of the guests' gymnasts had to go into quarantine on the instructions of the health department.

In order not to risk anything, the people of Kirchheim did not even travel there.

TSV Buttenwiesen is now second in the table.

In order to still offer their fans gymnastics in the hall, the Buttenwiesener formed two mini-teams, which competed against each other in a show competition.

The hosts announced that the world-class performances of the two Ukrainian athletes Oleksandr Petrenko and Yevgen Yudenkov were the highlights.

A VfL gymnast also got involved: Stefan Payer from Stuttgart did not notice that his team had canceled and drove to Buttenwiesen alone.

Since he is not training with the quarantined athlete, he was able to compete.
