Strong nerves from Dießen manage to stay up in the air rifle Bundesliga.
Maximilian Ulbrich once again showed strong performances.
Dießen/Wilzhofen – The celebration was quite short.
Since the air rifle shooters of the FSG Dießen wanted to start the journey home from Bad Dürrheim sober, the big break was cancelled.
"It would have been nicer on Saturday," said Maximilian Ulbrich, who regretted that his team had only managed to stay up in the Bundesliga South at the last minute.
The number one of the FSG would have liked to have opened a bottle earlier.
But it was only after the 3:2 victory over SV Pfeil Vöhringen on the last day of the competition that it was irrevocably certain that the Dießen team would go into their third season in the German elite league.
FSG Dießen stays up in the Bundesliga
The second year of the FSG in the upper house left Ulbrich with mixed feelings.
With ninth place, the Dießener achieved their targeted place in the middle of the table.
However, the balance of 8:14 points, which should be it in the end, was not enough to eliminate the last doubts about staying up early.
The worry of slipping into relegation due to a chain of unfortunate circumstances was latent.
"We were never safe," admitted Ulbrich.
So the last weekend in the Bundesliga turned out to be a reflection of the past round.
The FSG trumped big, but there was a lack of team unity to calm their own nerves in the first comparison with Eichenlaub Saltendorf.
"We would have won wrongly because we were under-occupied at the back," Ulbrich admitted that the 2-3 defeat against Saltendorfer, who were also threatened with relegation, was deserved.
Stephan Sanktjohanser with 390 points in third place had nothing to report against Andreas Preis (398).
Silvia Rachl (389) was also clearly rebuffed by Helmut Kächele (396).
Nele Grimm still sold best.
But even her 391 rings were not enough to take the decisive point from Victoria Müller (393).
Maximilian Ulbrich shines in first place
In the front positions, the firemen dominated the conflict.
Even Nikolaus Blamauer's 397 rings were not enough to hold a candle to Maximilian Ulbrich.
Even before the competition, the 22-year-old from Wilzhofen felt "that there was something in it".
In the end, even the optimum of 400 points was within the realm of possibility.
But his 37th shot missed the target by a hair's breadth.
Instead of the desired ten, a 9.9 appeared on the scoreboard.
"You can shoot a nine," Ulbrich commented on his 399 rings, with which he seamlessly continued the form that distinguished him before Christmas.
Shreya Agrawal also confirmed her performances from the season opener.
The Indian turned out to be the hoped-for reinforcement on the foreigner's position.
Her 396 rings were unbeatable for Julia Moser (393).

However, Dießen now had to deal with second-placed SV Pfeil Vöhringen.
"It was almost impossible for us to slip backwards," reported Ulbrich.
He was sure that his team would get rid of all relegation worries.
The only question was how.
Especially since Brigachtal had to face another tough challenge against Coburg and promptly lost 0:5.
The task that Ulbrich had to solve at number one was still difficult.
Hannah Steffen ended her program with 397 points when the reigning German champion in singles had just shot his 25th shot.
And because he promptly went slightly wrong, it got really exciting again.
However, Ulbrich didn't let himself be put under pressure and ended his last series just as perfectly as the first two with a 100. "That wasn't so bad,"

Because Agrawal also delivered the same result on her second appearance as on her first (396), she narrowly beat Antonia Back (394).
In the following two places, Stephan Sanktjohanser (392) and Silvia Rachl (390) kept their encounters open for a long time, but then they had to bow to Anita Mangold (393) and Alisa Zirfass (392).
It was thanks to Nele Grimm (396), who easily dominated Florian Krumm (392) in fifth place, that a well-deserved victory was achieved in the end.
"I was very happy for them," Ulbrich congratulated the youngest member of the team.
There could not have been a better end to this season for the Wilzhofener and his teammates from FSG Dießen - especially since they also robbed the Vöhringers of the title with this 3:2.
