Cheers and smiling faces at the reception in Dortmund. The party. Formula final lost, medal won. Or as this fan writes, silver around our necks, gold in our hearts.
What kind of performance did they deliver? Nobody expected that. And if they had played the final in Dortmund, we would have won it too.
The entry in the city’s Golden Book, plus a €300,000 bonus for the team, more than ever before. And the silver medal compensates and rewards the strong World Championships of Markus Gauges’ team.
Feels a bit more relaxed with the silver medal dangling around your neck. Then the joy and pride predominate.
The national coach says in a rough voice after a long night of partying that began in Rotterdam.
Of course we also celebrated properly. The team is great at that.
We had a good evening, danced a bit and it was nice, it was good. We win the third half. That looked very good. It was really fun.
And continued on the way home, with drinks and singing like at the World Cup. A unified team effort with exemplary character.
This is definitely the case for many girls too, you can see it and think like that. It’s worth working on it and always dreaming big and definitely doing something about it.
Then there’s even precious metal under the Christmas tree this year.
