What happened until now
Already at 10:00 a.m. the athletes started playing canoe polo. This sport is part of the finals for the first time and in a new format as a speed version. Each team has four players in one-man kayaks on the water trying to get the ball into the opponent’s goal using their hands or paddles. Four teams competed in the semi-finals. The KSV Havelbrüder and Rote Mühle Essen ultimately emerged as finalists. The first-named team won the final 7-3 and secured the championship title. Meidericher KC won bronze in the small final.

Start on Thursday
On the first day of competition, we will focus on the following eight sports: fencing, artistic gymnastics, canoe racing, track and field, swimming, speed canoe polo, trampoline gymnastics and triathlon. The women’s shot put at the Brandenburg Gate should be of particular interest. Traditionally, of course, the swimming competitions are also very fascinating. In any case, we should have enough time to look at all the events of the day.

Everyone goes to Berlin
This event was held for the first time three years ago. By bringing together a wide variety of sports, the aim is to arouse the public’s concentrated interest. And above all, fringe sports can benefit from greater attention. In 2020 the finals fell through due to Corona. Twelve months ago, the competitions took place not only in Berlin but also in the Rhine-Ruhr region. This year everything is once again concentrated in the capital.
