Brandenburg celebrates a strong victory at the 35th Youth State Cup in Kienbaum!
In Kienbaum, Brandenburg, the 35th Youth State Cup of the German Disabled Sports Youth (DBSJ) was a celebration of diversity and sporting togetherness. Over 190 young athletes from eleven regional associations made the event an unforgettable experience. Para athletics and para swimming competitions took place from September 4th to 7th at an Olympic and Paralympic training center known for its sporting opportunities. DBS-NPC reports that Brandenburg triumphed in the overall rankings and impressed in both the team rankings.
The opening was celebrated with inspiring words from Ralf Paulo, Vice President of the Disabled Sports Association, as well as Janne Engeleiter and Katja Kliewer, Chairwoman of the DBSJ. They emphasized the basic values of this event: diversity, fairness and togetherness. These principles were also the focus of the subsequent activities, which promoted team spirit and a great atmosphere.
Sporting achievements and talent sightings
A varied program awaited the young talents. In addition to the competitions, there were training opportunities and a scavenger hunt with twelve stations, which provided additional motivation. The Youth Country Cup not only provides competition experience, but also promotes team cohesion and fair play. These aspects are particularly important for young people, who often have little contact with organized sporting events.
A special highlight was the visit by Jürgen Dusel, the Federal Government Commissioner for the Affairs of People with Disabilities. In the exchange about barrier-free sports facilities and the need for easily accessible sports offerings, it became clear that, despite progress, there is still a lot to be done. Loud Infoquell is only one of seven sports clubs in Germany accessible to people with disabilities, which highlights the challenges in the area of inclusion.
Outlook and commitment for the future
It is clear that the Youth Country Cup is more than just a sporting event: it is a signal for more inclusion and social participation. Katja Kliewer emphasized the importance of the cup for the participants and the organizational team and happily announced the next Youth Country Cup in Kiel in 2026. Brandenburg has won big, and the young generation of athletes is showing that they are ready to take on responsibility and set the course for a more inclusive future.
