SVV Plauen shines with nine medals at the state youth games!

The SVV Plauen was able to impressively show up state youth games in Dresden at this year's savings banks. With 16 talented swimmers from the years 2011 to 2017, the Vogtländer took part in this important event. On a total of around 6,500 athletes from various sports, they met in the swimming pool on Freiberger Platz, where almost 3,300 starts were recorded. It was a true festival of swimming that becomes clear in these impressive numbers, reports the Freie Press .

The young swimmers of SVV Plauen showed remarkable achievements and were able to achieve good results consistently. Felix Mocker particularly shone, who took five gold medals home. He demonstrated its strength primarily in the medium -haul. Vin-Nino Prague also came up with a complete medal set via the sprint distances-50 m back, butterfly and freestyle-such as the Plauen informed.

successes and placements

Felix Mocker not only won in the medium distance, but also secured silver over the distances of 50, 100 and 200 m chest as well as bronze over 200 m freestyle and 200 m. His team-mate Karl Rudolph was also successful and reached a silver medal over 50 m dolphin leg movement. Places four and five took Luisa Eckner, Frieda Rudolph, Frida-Malin Wunderlich and Nils Zwerner, all of whom struck through the competitions.

A special challenge was the 4 × 50 m layout relay, in which Vin-Nino Prager, Felix Mocker, Kevin Winter and Frida Malin were able to compete. Although they swam a new best time, they just missed the winner podium. However, the atmosphere during the competitions was not only characterized by sporting ambition, but also by feeling of community: the team stayed in the youth guest house in Dresden and attended an athlete party in the CityBeach Dresden, which also strengthened the team spirit.

A look into the future

In addition to the competitions and medals, the SVV Plauen also focused on future events. The German Swimming Youth has already planned various events that not only promote sporting activities, but also focus on education and community cooperation. Further training and youth trips are on the program that should strengthen social skills and team spirit.

The performance and success of the young athletes from Plauen reflect the potential that is available in the region. If things go on, the supporters of swimming sports can look forward to many further successes in the future.
