Bronze for Worpswede runners: strong performance at the DM in Eberswalde!
The German Orienteering Championship, which took place on June 15th in Eberswalde, Brandenburg, attracted a large number of participants. The TSV Worpswede athletes showed that they are in top shape. They kept the standard high with outstanding performances and secured two bronze medals. Gerrit Rode in the H55 age group and Constantin Freudenfeld in the H14 were pleased with their successes. The competition weekend was characterized by mid-summer temperatures and a demanding route that required both technical skills and a lot of endurance. [Weser Kurier].
Constantin Freudenfeld in particular narrowly missed the lecture during his run; A small misorientation cost him valuable seconds, but in the end he was only three seconds behind first place and thus secured second place. Gerrit Rode also achieved seventh place in the subsequent national ranking run over the long distance on Sunday.
Top performers from Worpswede
The successes of the athletes from Worpswede are the result of hard work and precise preparation. Numerous competitions took place throughout the year and served as a springboard. Christoph Freudenfeld was able to excel at the national championships in Hanover in June 2024 and be celebrated as German champion in the H50. “He won by over a minute,” says a detailed report on TSV Worpswede.
The state championships over the sprint distance, which also took place in Hanover on June 9, 2024, were another highlight. It wasn't just the Freudenfeld double that showed his skills here - Constantin became runner-up in the H16, while Christoph also took second place in the H35. Particularly noteworthy: Coach Gerrit Rode, who was unable to arrive on time due to circumstances, was stopped without a rating in the H45 despite having the best time.
Orienteering: A sport with a future
Orienteering (OL) is enjoying increasing popularity, both competitively and as a recreational sport. VTF Hamburg emphasizes that the sport relies on the combination of endurance and cognitive skills. Participants must navigate to checkpoints quickly and precisely on the map available to them. This mix makes the sport not only a physical challenge, but also an exciting experience in nature.
The athletes from Worpswede have shown with their performances over the last few months that they are among the top athletes in Germany. With every competition, interest in orienteering grows, and not just in Worpswede. The athletes also have a good hand for the upcoming competitions - and we are excited to see what the next challenges will bring!
