  • Baden Hills Curler Besetzen Spitzenpositionen in Deutschland
    Baden Hills Curler besetzen Spitzenpositionen in Deutschland Team von Alexander Baumann holt Platz Eins zurück Nach dem letztjährigen Sieg des Juniorenteams um Klaudius Harsch vom Baden Hills Golf und Curling Club Rastatt (BHGCC) drehte in diesem Jahr Alexander Baumann mit seiner neuformierten Mannschaft den Spieß um und gewann äußerst knapp mit 0,7 cm Vorsprung vor den Junioren und dem Team von Daniel Neuner, einer Kombination aus Spielern von Füssen, Oberstdorf, Riessersee und Konstanz. Alle drei Mannschaften waren nach fünf Spielen am Ende punktgleich nur die LSD – Regelung (last stone draw) führte dazu, dass Baumann mit seinen Mitspielern im Durchschnitt den geringsten Abstand zum Zentrum im Haus aufwies. Während gegen die restlichen Gegner mehr oder weniger klare Siege errungen werden konnten, verlor Baumann mit seinen Rastatter Teamkollegen Kevin Bold und Marc Weiler sowie Sebastian Schweizer aus Schwenningen mit 8:9 gegen Harsch, der wiederum mit 5:11 gegen Neuner das Nachsehen hatte, der dann gegen den späteren Sieger mit 5:6 seine einzige Niederlage einstecken musste. So hatten die drei Medaillengewinner jeweils vier Siege und je eine Niederlage auf ihrem Konto. Neben dem ehemaligen Sotschi-Olympiateilnehmer Felix Schulze aus Hamburg und Leon Hundertmark, ebenfalls aus der Hansestadt, war mit Manuel Walter, Georg Peter, Roger Huckle und Max Heling ein weiteres vollständiges Team aus Baden Hills am Start. Mit den Meisterschaftsneulingen an seiner Seite gab es für Walter nur gegen Harsch mit Jan-Luca Haag, Sixten Totzek und den Sutor Brüdern Magnus und Joshua aus Füssen eine etwas deftigere Niederlage, während die restlichen Spiele mit nur jeweils einem Stein verloren gingen, womit der sechste Rang heraussprang.

Scotland’s David Murdoch was always in control against Sweden’s Niklas Edin and eventually, after blanking five ends, delivered a hack-weight tap-out of a Swedish counter to leave another of his stones lying shot for a 3-2 win. Later Switzerland’s Mirjam Ott edged out Norway’s Marianne Rørvik to start her campaign with a 6-4 win. Elsewhere in the men’s opening session, Germany’s Andy Kapp had an 8-5 win over Ulrik Schmidt’s Danish team, thanks largely to a score of three in the second end, while Thomas Dufour led France to a 6-5 win over Italy’s Stefano Ferronato. The other two games in the men’s opening round both went to extra ends, with Finland’s Toni Rantamäki taking the single needed to beat Jiri Snítel of the Czech Republic by 9-8, as did Thomas Ulsrud of Norway against Switzerland’s Ralph Stöckli for his 8-7 win. In the women’s games, Germany’s Andrea Schöpp took an early three against Sweden’s reigning Olympic champion Anette Norberg and held off the second-half Swedish pressure to win by 7-4.
