With siblings to success: Miowitz-Family shines when fencing!
Biberach, Deutschland - On June 16, 2025, a spectacular event took place in Biberach, Baden-Württemberg: the German championships in foil fencing. The event attracted fencers between the ages of 11 and 13 from all corners of Germany, and the tournament was able to count on an enthusiastic number of spectators and a lively atmosphere. The focus was particularly on the siblings Mateja and Milan Miowitz, who competed for the Lower Saxony team. TC spokesman Axel Klages was enthusiastic about the joy of the two participants in their first championship after the competition.
mid-June 2025 for the Miowitz siblings was primarily on the plan for participation in the individual and team competition of the foil fencing. While Mateja took 56th place in the individual competition, she showed a gratifying result on the second day of the tournament in the team competition: she achieved 7th place in the overall ranking. Her brother Milan also contributed well in the team competition and took the 21st place. Klages emphasized the fabulous atmosphere in the hall, which led to an exciting weekend full of new experiences and impressions. The siblings are optimistic about the chance to be able to participate again in the coming year.
high requirements and perfect organization
The fencing department of the TV Cannstatt was entrusted with the organization of the German championships for the first time. The two competitions each included 180 fencers on 18 perfectly prepared fencing tracks that were always ready for use. The challenges were complex: from registration, through a medical on -call service to the provision of a cafeteria, many details had to be taken into account and organized. Iris Drobny, a professional sports photographer, documented the event and already used her skills in other big tournaments.Thanks to the provision of the badminton and tennis hall through the TV Cannstatt, the event could be carried out inexpensively, which brought a big logistical advantage. Over 70 committed people were deployed on both days to ensure the smooth process. The German Fencing Association took over the official implementation of the tournament and praised the work of the fencing department and the main association.
