City championships
This weekend the table tennis city championships take place in Kirchheim. Over 400 players will participate in various competitions – the tournament is one of the biggest in the whole district.
I don’t expect to win anything, but I hope to perform at least as well as last year. The club championships however have been a success for me, we won the 3rd/4th place in the double competition by reaching the semi-finals – losing against the later champions team.

… and I got elected “player of the year”!
Tomorrow we will start the final preparations for the tournament – cleaning the tables, fixing the nets. Friday night we will prepare everything in the gymnasium (tables, lunch room, cafeteria, …) and Saturday and Sunday will start at 7:30 am for the tournament administration team which I’m part of.

The service will end at around 10:00 pm. But I’m really looking forward to it because it’s a great event with lots of fantastic players (players of the 2nd German national league will participate, former national team players of different countries, our own club’s participants of European and world championships) and it’s gonna be a lot of fun with my teammates.
