Veilsdorfer Silvan Opinion surprises as runner-up in bowling!
Things got hot in Munich recently when the German Classic Bowling Championships took place. Over two days, bowlers from all over Germany fought for the coveted titles. Among them was the talented Silvan Opinioner from Veilsdorf, who achieved runner-up honors in the U23 men's age group with his strong performance. His surprising success is all the more remarkable because he has only been playing for SKV Mörfelden since last summer, which was promoted to the 1st Bundesliga, and he wanted to use the opportunity to draw attention to himself at the championships, especially because the national coaches were there and the World Cup qualification is coming up in Austria next year. According to InSuedThüringen, Opinioner was visibly surprised by this success.
The U23 final in Munich offered a thrilling duel. Gold went to Jonas Bähr from SKC Unterharmersbach with 702 pins. Silvan Opinioner secured the silver medal with 640 pins and Fabian Zimmermann, also from SKC Unterharmersbach, won the bronze with 633 pins. The final score illustrates the high level of these championships:
| Place | name | cone | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | Jonas Bähr (SKC Unterharmersbach) | 702 | 13 |
| 2. | Silvan Opinioner (SKV Mörfelden) | 640 | 11 |
| 3. | Fabian Zimmermann (SKC Unterharmersbach) | 633 | 8 |
| 4. | Maximilian Senkel (ESV Lok Falkenberg) | 614 | 8 |

A look at the event
