“touch the clouds” ushers in the Christmas season this year with a premiere:
On December 14th and 15th, 2024, the Christmas jumping will take place for the first time in the Würm Arena in Gräfelfing. It originated from the traditional talent scouting jumping in the Werner-von-Linde-Halle at Christmas time, which was once initiated by Tim Lobinger, who unfortunately died far too early. Thanks to the great support of our dedicated helpers, we can now take this special step and turn it into an event.
With over 90 participants, the event promises to be an absolute highlight for all athletics and pole vault fans.
Highlights of the event:
Saturday: December 14, 2024 / Competition start: 10:30 a.m. / Men 6:30 p.m.
Look forward to impressive performances from our local matadors Simon Krumpholz PB 5.10m, Mario Mönninger PB 4.90 (both TSV Gräfelfing) and Ben Bichsel PB 5.21m (BA LG Radolfzell) who trained with us for half a year and was able to significantly improve his performance. Jonathan Hummel, South German champion and bronze winner in the M15 age group (Spvgg Weil der Stadt) with a PB 4.46m is also there.
