Südafrikanischer Dankesbrief zur WM2010 kam gestern in Deutschland an:
30 August 2010
We have been back in South Africa for three weeks now and we have almost settled back into our normal routine…. or so I think! Returning from Germany (and this has been my 5th time) has always been one of the saddest and most difficult things to do and this time was no exception!
I would like to use this opportunity to say: Vielen, vielen Dank to many, many people: Mehr…
Welcome USA! – it’s North-America’s first-time ever participation in a tenniquoits WC. The American tenniquoits federation is going to send a delegation consisting of 9 members to Germany. Pakistan, that already took part four years ago, has also applied for Koblenz; the team’s participation, however, depends on their visas being granted. And Belarus has nominated some additional players.

Apart from the three official WC competitions and the five unofficial demonstration competitions there will be four attractive cultural and social events where all participants can meet, chat and celebrate. As everybody involved – like players, delegation members, helpers or supporters – will be completely occupied with sports, keeping fingers crossed or organizing for a whole week, these common moments will be particularly treasured. Host Germany has a lot to offer and doesn’t have to hide its light under a bushel in comparison to colourful India at the WC 2006.

The ‘Sporthalle Oberwerth’ was examined carefully by the national team and their coach at the 40th German Team Championships in Koblenz on March 20th. Drive- and stairway to the gymnasium, which is situated on a hill, as well as the first view of the spacious foyer are very impressive. The parquet flooring with clear white court lines, a high ceiling and easily convertible grandstands for participants and spectators meet highest sporting WC-standards and add to a comfortable atmosphere. Thus the general conditions for very good sports at the second tenniqoits-WC are excellent. Have a look at a regional TVM-broadcast covering the German team championships with ‘live’ impressions of the ‘Sporthalle Oberwerth’.
