young talents at the top

Greta Ewald from SC Neubrandenburg and Anton Lange from TC Fiko triumphed from the Juniors and secured the title of the "pure" Rostock triathlon.

Clara Kirchhoff (Fiko) also showed a strong performance and was third.

The fastest swimmer of male youth A, Birk Bült (SC Neubrandenburg), quickly in the races and did his job excellently, but missed the first place and finished second.

regional league and exciting competitions

Another highlight was the "point game" of the Regionalliga Nord, in which 12 women's and 13 men's teams were competition. The TC Fiko is strongly represented and was in the men's regional league before the last change to position. With the fastest racing split of Enno Freyhof, the team was completed by the leading Oldenburgers for two seconds. The fight for the placements was also exciting here.

The competition attracted a remarkable number of participants, which has not always been the case in recent years. There are around 600 triathlon events in Germany with more than 1,500 competitions.
