Haldensleben, Deutschland - An exciting weekend for the athletes of the 1. TSV Bad Salzungen!

The event took place on June 22, 2024 in the stadium at the Schwanenteich in Mittweida, organized by TSV Progress Mittweida. But the conditions were anything but ideal. A gusty wind made life difficult for the athletes. Nevertheless, they were able to give everything and bravely fought against the challenges. Paul Schröder stood out: he achieved a personal best and secured the bronze medal with attentive performance. [Insuedthuringen] reports of this success, which will certainly be a driver of motivation for the future.

The entire competition over it became clear: the Central German championships are a serious platform for the young athletes. The talented Paul was not only able to increase his own performance, but also put the competition from the Region in the shade.
