Germany wins World-Team Cup 2010 against Japan, the Netherlands and Switzerland
Report coming The German team lived up to expectations to win the World Team Cup for the sixth time in succession. Robert Maaser and Julia Pohling performed beautiful straight-line routines to music and were both rewarded with the highest score of the day, 12.4.
The Japanese team secured 2nd place behind Germany, also achieving several scores above 10. The battle for 3rd place was won by the The Netherlands, with Switzerland coming in 4th.
The atmosphere in the sports hall in Finnentrop was excellent. Around 800 spectators followed the competition closely and cheered on the teams. The first major test of the newly implemented IRV Code of Points 2010 resulted in much positive feedback, as did the excellent organisation of the Finnentrop community. When the participants of the first international training camp in wheel gymnastics founded the first international Rhönrad federation (FIRR = Federation International de Rhönrad) in Finnentrop in 1990, little did they know that they would be able to reunite 20 years later at world class anniversary sports gala and World Team Cup.
