  • Magdalena Neuners Biathlon-Comeback Auf Schalke
    Ressort: Sport Magdalena Neuners Biathlon-Comeback auf Schalke Neuner bei World Team Challenge Gelsenkirchen, 22.10.2014, 00:05 Uhr GDN - Nach ihrem Abschiedsrennen bei der Biathlon World Team Challenge 2012 in Gelsenkirchen feiert Magdalena Neuner am 27. Dezember ein “Comeback“ auf Schalke. Allerdings nicht mehr als aktive Biathletin, sondern als Moderatorin der World Team Challenge. 2012 zog sich die Wallgauerin aus dem Leistungssport zurück. Seit der Geburt ihrer Tochter im vergangenen Frühjahr blühen die Spekulationen über den weiteren Karriereweg der 27-jährigen. Wird sie Trainerin? Journalistin? Oder bleibt sie Hausfrau und Mutter? Das Rätselraten hat ein Ende: Magdalena Neuner wird künftig wieder vor einem Millionenpublikum an den Start gehen. Zwar nicht wie von vielen erhofft als aktive Sportlerin, dafür aber als sympathische und fachkundige Moderatorin. Für ihre Feuertaufe beim eiskalten Spektakel übernimmt Magdalena Neuner die Co-Moderation der diesjährigen Biathlon World Team Challenge in der VELTINS-Arena. An der Seite von Herbert Fritzenwenger wird sie die Zuschauer mit ihrem Fachwissen und Hintergrundinformationen während der spannenden Rennen begleiten. “Ich freue mich wahnsinnig auf das Wiedersehen mit meinen Fans auf Schalke. Der Abschied hier vor zwei Jahren war ein unglaublich emotionaler und bewegender Moment“, schwärmt “Lena“. “Die Erinnerung an die Atmosphäre in der Arena verursacht bei mir immer noch eine Gänsehaut“. “Magdalena wird mit ihrem persönlichen sportlichen Background und dem unglaublich sympathischen Wesen das Publikum als Moderatorin nicht nur bei der Biathlon-WTC begeistern. Dessen bin ich mir absolut sicher“, betont Cheforganisator und Kommentator Herbert Fritzenwenger. “Ich freue mich wahnsinnig darauf, gemeinsam mit Lena den Biathlon auf Schalke zu kommentieren“. Die World Team Challenge in der Schalke-Arena wird auch in diesem Jahr wieder viele prominente Sportler am Start sehen.

  • History of the Spingold
    History of the Spingold The Spingold Master Knockout Teams, first known as the Challenge Knockout Teams, was contested for the Asbury Park Trophy in the early days. The runner-up team in the regularly-scheduled portion of the event had the right to challenge the winners to a playoff. This right was never utilized. In 1934, 1936 and 1937, the Masters Teams-of- Four and the Asbury Park Trophy were separate events, providing two sets of winners. In 1938 the event became the Spingold Master Knockout Teams and a part of the Summer NABC. At one time, the Spingold was a double elimination event, usually lasting nine or 10 sessions. It was scored by International Match Points and was restricted to players with 100 or more masterpoints. In 1965, the double elimination method was replaced by three qualifying sessions (subsequently reduced to two), followed by single elimination knockout matches. The preliminary qualifying session were dropped in 1970. The Spingold Trophy, donated by Nathan B. Spingold in 1934; the Vanderbilt Trophy, awarded to the winners of the Vanderbilt Knockout Teams at the Spring NABC, and the Reisinger Memorial Trophy, donated by the Greater New York Bridge Association in memory of Curt H. Reisinger and awarded to the winners of the Reisinger Board-a-Match Teams, are ACBL’s most highly prized team trophies. Spingold (1886-1958), a New York publicist, motion picture executive and patron of the arts, was one of the most influential men in bridge administration from 1937 to 1943. Born in Chicago, he became a reporter on The Chicago Examiner, The Chicago Record Herald and The Chicago Tribune.
