2. Platz beim Internationalen Turnier des Düsseldorfer Curling Clubs

Curling Turnier Düsseldorf

Luxemburger Nationalmannschaft schafft 2. Platz beim Internationalen Turnier des Düsseldorfer Curling Clubs.

Nach sehr guten drei ersten Matches,
gegen die Beavers (Vorjahressieger) 13-4, gegen Awesomesauce aus Holland 5-6 (unglückliche Niederlage) gegen das Damenteam aus Düsseldorf 8-7,

standen die Luxemburger im FINALE.

Gegen die Kölner um Skip James Weber war jeder Stein hartumkämpft und die Luxemburger haben gegen alle Prognosen 5-4 gewonnen.
Wegen des vorher verlorenen Spiels (siehe oben), fehlten allerdings 2 Ends zum Endsieg.

Aber wie sagt der Sportler gern: “Darauf lässt es sich aufbauen”.

Das Nationalteam bestand aus Marc Hansen, Skip, Alex Benoy, Francesco Grassi und Fabio Veltri.

Curling national team Championship 2015/16

Marco ETIENNE, Yves SIERADZKI, Yannick HANSEN und Moritz RUHSTALLER neue LANDESMEISTER !!!

 

Sie besiegten im Finale die Mannschaft von Dan KELLY (+ Gregor Graham, Candice Richards und Barry Foulds) mit 8-5.

Das Spiel um Platz 3 gewann das Team von Marc HANSEN (+ Ian Munn, Francesco Grassi und Fabio Veltri) mit 7-4

gegen das Team von Alex BENOY (+ Kyle Edwards, Karen Wauters und Susi Benoy).

Zuvor hatte das Round Robin (jeder gegen jeden) folgendes Ergebnis gebracht:

Kelly: 5 Punkte, 14 Ends, 25-14 Steine

Etienne: 4 Punkte, 12 Ends, 21-21 Steine

Hansen: 3 Punkte, 10 Ends, 22-26 Steine

Benoy: 0 Punkte, 11 Ends, 20-27 Steine

Es ist absolut hervorzuheben, dass das Siegerteam mit den zwei jüngsten Luxemburger Curlingspielern angetreten ist

(Moritz Ruhstaller 15 Jahre und Yannick Hansen 19). Marco Etienne und Yves Sieradzki haben es verstanden, als erfahrene Spieler

die beiden Youngsters perfekt in ihr Team zu integrieren und konnten am Schluss einen schönen Sieg feiern.

Das spricht für die Zukunft des Luxemburger Curling.

The Slovenian Curling Association will host the European Curling Championships C-Division (ECC-C)

Perth, Scotland
Thursday 7 January

The Slovenian Curling Association will host the European Curling Championships C-Division (ECC-C), its first international curling event, in April.

The event will be held in the Ice Arena Zalog in Ljubljana between 25 April and 1 May 2016.

The ECC-C traditionally took place in October, but was moved to the spring following a decision taken at the World Curling Federation’s Annual General Assembly. This will give the winning teams more time to prepare for the European Curling Championships B-Division which take place in November.

World Curling Federation President, Kate Caithness, said: “The World Curling Federation (WCF) are excited to be taking this qualification event to Slovenia. The Slovenian Curling Association has shown great ambition in developing our sport in recent years and I am in no doubt that the local organising committee will put on a great show for all the athletes and supporters.”

Previously, five national curling championships and four junior curling events have been held in the Ice Arena Zalog, but it is hoped that an international event will play a significant role in the future development of curling in Slovenia and Central Europe.

Gregor Rigler, President of the Local Organising Committee, said: “Slovenia is a relatively new country in the curling family and tries to promote curling in all possible ways. We believe that organising ECC-C will, among other things, help to promote the unique sport of curling and raise its popularity in Slovenia.

“We also wish to be a role model for all the countries participating in the C-Division and give them the courage to organise future competitions. We hope we can catch some attention from potential sponsors, and that the organisation of this championship will help us take steps closers to getting dedicated ice.”

One women’s team and one men’s team from each WCF Member Association in the European Zone may enter, only if they are not competing in the European Curling Championships A or B Divisions.

Two women’s teams and two men’s teams will qualify for the European Curling Championships B-Division in Glasgow, Scotland from 18-26 November 2016.

Marko Kolenc, Director of Sport Municipality in Ljubljana, said: “On behalf of Municipality of Ljubljana we will be glad to welcome the European Curling Championships C-Division to the 2016 Green Capital of Europe. Curling is one of the youngest Olympic sports in Slovenia and the speed of its development is amazing.”
