Olympic feeling in Kirchdorf: Talents train with badminton stars!
A cross-club regional training recently took place in Kirchdorf an der Krems, which provided significant impetus for badminton sport in the region. Around 20 talented young players from Kirchdorf, Schlierbach, Wels and Windischgarsten took part in this special event, which was organized by the Sportunion Kirchdorf. The main protagonist of the training was none other than Collins Filimon, Austria's 2024 Olympic participant in Paris. He was supported by other experienced coaches such as Peter Zauner, who was once number 22 in the badminton men's doubles world rankings, and Lorenz Windauer, a Bundesliga player from Union Ohlsdorf.
The training, which took place under the direction of Dominik Mizelli, the badminton section head of the Kirchdorf Sport Union, focused on technical skills and game intelligence. The young talents received individual tips on how to improve their game, especially in the areas of smash and net play. A highlight of the event was a show match between Collins Filimon and Lorenz Windauer, which was an unforgettable experience for many in the hall.
Conclusion with a grinding tournament
The crowning conclusion of the regional training was a grinding tournament, in which the amateur players from Kirchdorf also took part. The presence of the professionals increased the motivation and joy of the participants and created a family atmosphere. The event was a valuable opportunity for the young players to learn from the best in their field and to compete.
Another significant event in the Kirchdorf Sport Union is the retirement of Matthias Reischauer, who ended his position as coach of the Badminton Kids for work-related reasons after six years. Despite his studies in Leoben, Reischauer was committed to developing young talent every Wednesday and was able to get many children interested in the sport of badminton. The Sports Union thanks him for his commitment and wishes him all the best for his future career. It is hoped that Reischauer will return to Sportunion Kirchdorf in the future once his professional situation has stabilized. Tips reports that these developments will enrich the community and sport in general and will certainly produce many new talents in the coming years.
With such committed people like Mizelli and the professional influence of Olympic participant Filimon, the great potential that lies in the sport of badminton in Kirchdorf is evident. It remains exciting to see how the talent will develop in the future.
Kirchdorf Sports Union reports that there continues to be great interest in badminton in the region and such training events help raise the standard and further promote the sport.
