At the national team’s final tryout on March 15–16 at the Bandsbusch District Sports Complex in Hilden, Johannes Maringer qualified for the eight-member national team that will represent the German Kyudo Federation in Stockholm on May 24–25. Reinhard Kollotzek is one of four reserve archers who will step in should any of the squad members be unable to participate.

All participants were very impressed by the atmosphere in the Hilden sports hall. Since the Kyudo Club Neandertal’s usual training facility was unavailable due to renovation work, an alternative venue had to be found on short notice. In arranging the visit, facilitating the process, and setting the date, the staff of the City of Hilden’s Sports Department demonstrated a high level of professionalism and a strong commitment to serving the community, for which the club would like to express its sincere gratitude.
