The Grand Prix for Special was won by 2022 Piaff Forderpreis winner and European U25 Championship medal winner Helen Erbe on the 17-year old Hanoverian Carlos (by Carabas x Weltmeyer) Erbe posted the high score of 71.196 % ahead of German Olympian Helen Langehanenberg on Nicola Ahorner's 12-year old Hanoverian Facilone (by Furstenball x De Niro) with  71.130 % Dorothee Schneider topped the leaderboard in the Grand Prix Special on the Chinese owned 12-year old Westfalian Dayman (by Daily Deal x Flovino) She won the class with 70.475% after placing third in the Grand Prix with  69.609% Schneider on Dayman"Dayman is more of a child at play He always wants to put something in his mouth keep himself busy or rearrange something in his box," is how Schneider describes her special winner "He is a really sweet horse who wants to be given a little more security by me in the test which is something we absolutely need for our sport." "The coolest thing was the warm-up today," said the double winner happily after the special I often have the problem that he gets a bit too proud for me in the test and then doesn't quite let go of the topline I wasn't able to take this feeling from the warm-up through the whole test but I found the first piaffe and passage part to be freer in the topline really good." In the changes he then became a bit too proud again Fie Skarsoa and Manon Ackermann's 11-year old Lusitano stallion Imperador dos Cedros (by Rubi x Hostil) made it a double in Donaueschingen they won the Grand Prix for freestyle with 70.087 % and the Kur to Music on Sunday with 75.175 % Fie Skarsoe on Imperador dos CedrosFor Skarsoe this was the second international she won on the grey stallion after the CDI Sint Truiden in April 2023 Show director Matthias Rath was thrilled with how his first edition of the CHI Donaueschingen went He is looking forward to staging the show again in 2025 together with Erik Pauly "The spectators were relieved to see that we have great equestrian sport here in Donaueschingen again which was what we had hoped for throughout the show It's wonderful when you can end the show on such a great day the sun is clearly symbolically shining over this competition again this event with the new organizers was the start of a new era."

This is where Spain’s football team are staying during the European Championship Just over 22,000 people live in Donaueschingen It is a pretty isolated place in the middle of the Black Forest that locals have transformed in an effort to welcome their guests this month Local shops and bars are decked out with Spain flags and there is even an art exhibition showcasing what could generously be described as rather outdated images of Spain one depicts a bullfight on a football pitch — set amid a typical scene of the local landscape There’s not much to do apart from enjoying the hotel’s facilities and relaxing and that’s probably why it’s been chosen There are three golf courses and a gym now filled with specialist equipment brought over by the Spanish FA Some members of the Spain unit see the two-hour bus trip they will have to make to Stuttgart Airport before each game as the biggest downside but they state it is a significant improvement on where they stayed for the 2006 World Cup in Germany “We are in a privileged area,” Dani Olmo said on Thursday “We have a level of calmness that not many squads have It’s a perfect place to address a competition like this.” So what do they get up to when they are not training There’s a tradition in Spain’s national team a very typical Spanish card game based on guessing how many tricks will be won Métete dentro del último minuto del partidillo de la @SEFutbol escuchando cada golpeo cada acción y cada palabra de los jugadores De verdad que merece la pena 😉.#VamosEspaña | #EURO2024 pic.twitter.com/oFOpwOn4E9 — Selección Española Masculina de Fútbol (@SEFutbol) June 11, 2024 Others prefer to play golf and some prefer video games It’s helped build bonds between them and Williams and Yamal especially have developed a relationship that goes beyond being Spain’s biggest attacking threats What makes Lamine Yamal such a special footballer “We have a good friendship. I try to advise him in the same way my elder brother (Inaki Williams) has done with me I even sometimes see him doing his homework in the hotel room here!” Yamal said: “I’ve got along with him since my first call-up I enjoy playing with him because opponents need to cover both flanks and I think it leaves the pitch more open for both of us I let him brag… but when it comes to gaming There are TV screens in communal areas players use for gaming, but there are also spaces where members of the squad meet to talk and just pass the time. Here, it is common to see Alvaro Morata team captain and one of the most popular members in the squad He is so funny and takes care of us youngsters,” Williams added Maybe the media don’t see this because when you have a microphone in front of you I think all the younger players owe him a lot.” There was a time when this sense of unity and harmony was missed in Spain. At the 2014 World Cup, then-manager Vicente del Bosque had to set up an urgent meeting with Iker Casillas and Xavi to try to ease tensions that had built up between Spain’s Barca and Real Madrid players at club level “The other day I told Lamine that when I was 17 I was celebrating winning the Under-19 Copa del Rey with Madrid,” the 32-year-old said “This kid is now important with Barcelona and Spain but there are still fresh memories of their elimination from the 2022 World Cup in Qatar — which fuelled the departure of Luis Enrique Criticism focused most intensely on the ‘lack of a plan B’ Luis Enrique faced accusations of being too stubborn for persisting with a possession-oriented game which Some of those old criticisms still hang in the air under new manager Luis de la Fuente — who was appointed in December 2022 and led Spain to the UEFA Nations League title in June last year Several players have faced questions on the subject this week “It is not the case that we always need to keep loyal to one style of playing retaining possession and then losing the game,” Pedri said “I prefer to have a clear style of playing and something you tend to follow,” added Real Sociedad’s Mikel Merino “But the style in this team relies on trying to be complete and adapt to different situations Sometimes games bring you to paths you did not expect.” Another media focus has centred on a supposed lack of star power compared to other nations — and to Spain’s golden age “If Rodri was on social media and appeared in all the commercials wouldn’t he be a world-class star?” he said “If Dani Olmo was as recognised in Spain as he is in Germany, where Bayern Munich and Premier League teams want him On Saturday, the time for talking will be over.

We are successful because we have that togetherness.”  Maison du Sport International, Avenue de Rhodanie 54, 1007 Lausanne, Switzerland The secondary tournament assigned all places that were not won through the main competition at the 2015 World Archery Para Championships There was only one recurve men’s open place available in the secondary tournament and 14 athletes eligible to compete for it Sawicki was knocked out of the main event by 48th-ranked Francisco Cordeiro in the third round Piotr qualified as seed number 16 and it was a match that would have earned Poland a Rio quota place if he had won Undeterred, Sawicki won his first two secondary tournament matches 6-0, 6-4, then defeated Barry Guider of Ireland before his final against Hasegawa, dropping just two sets combined in both matches. “I was unsure of the qualification process going into the event but I always aim to do the same in any event,” explained Sawicki, saying he didn’t know what position would ensure a spot for Poland. “I just want to shoot as well as possible and try to beat anyone that comes up against me. If that wins my country a quota place it is a bonus,“ he said. Sawicki did admit to not knowing much about the archers he was shooting against in the secondary tournament, but didn’t feel any pressure in the critical knockout tournament. “There was no pressure as I shot like normal,” he said. “I don’t like to overthink these situations. I always focus on only my performance. If I shoot well then it is all I can do and hopefully it is enough.” The secondary Paralympic qualification was the final chance to earn quota places in the recurve men’s open category at the Donaueschingen worlds, and the 41 year old was happy that his home nation secured Rio representation. “I am glad to win this tournament and to gain a place for Poland in Brazil, but I will always aim to win no matter what the reward,” he concluded.

Geschichte und die Tradition des Hauses Fürstenberg waren für den Fürsten immer Leitbild seines Handelns Gleich zu Beginn seiner Amtszeit setzte der neue Chef ein sichtbares Zeichen für seine Verbundenheit mit dem Haus und sein Verantwortungsbewusstsein für die Familie: Fürst Heinrich der eigentlich die überschaubaren Verhältnisse einer Villa schätzte und darüber hinaus sehr naturverbunden war zog aus dem Hofjägerberg in das Schloss Donaueschingen Nur so konnte die Hauptresidenz des Hauses langfristig für die Familie erhalten werden Jahrzehntelang hatte das Schloss nur noch als Museum und für Empfänge gedient und war deshalb zunehmend in die Jahre gekommen Es wurde innen und außen umfangreich restauriert und von der Familie neu belebt Fürst Heinrich veröffentlichte 2019 ein opulentes Werk über seinen Urgroßvater Max Egon II Die reich bebilderte und aufwändig recherchierte Publikation schildert das Leben eines Aristokraten der sein Haus nach dem Untergang des Kaiserreiches und der Novemberrevolution neu aufstellen musste wie offen und realistisch der Fürst seine Familie und Geschichte sah: Es belegt die großen Verdienste seines Urgroßvaters beispielsweise um die Donaueschinger Musiktage genauso wie die Wirren der NS-Zeit Fürst Heinrich fühlte sich seinem Urgroßvater sehr verbunden weil er genau wie dieser nach dem Tode seines Vaters das Haus Fürstenberg neu positionieren musste Vor allem waren die Weichen auf wirtschaftlichem Gebiet neu zu stellen in den späten 1980er und frühen 1990er Jahren war der damalige Erbprinz zeitweise Präsident

score of 35 for the last end and taking the win by two Frith and Walker were delighted that their long hours of preparation for the worlds was rewarded It’s nice to know all that hard work has paid off,” said Frith. “It was quite nerve-racking I don’t think I can quite believe it at the moment.” Both Brits said they didn’t shoot their best in the gold medal match but were happy with victory in the finals arena The lead changed hands at every end in a close affair but the British archers shot well when it seemed to matter “We didn’t shoot as well as we can but it was a matchplay situation and we got through it,” Frith explained Both she and Walker compete for individual gold on Sunday in Donaeuschingen The opportunity to get accustomed to the finals field for the mixed competition was not lost on the pair – though the atmosphere “You have to work together as a team,” said Walker the other has to try and carry them though those harder moments It is good shooting with a teammate as the pressure is shared between the team You try to enjoy the big moments and not feel any pressure.” Mixed team competition will feature at its first Paralympic Games in Rio in 2016 Arriving in Brazil as reigning world champions won’t add any extra pressure – but sharpen the Brit’s resolve instead “I am looking forward to Rio and trying to add the Paralympic gold to our world championship success,” Walker finished In the compound open mixed team gold medal match, the results were reversed, as Chinese pair Lin Yueshan and Cao Hanwen took revenge on the British squad,

Throughout 2015, South Korean athletes are competing nationally at four selection matches. The final four candidates for the men’s individual event will vie for the chance to earn qualification slots for their country for Rio 2016 by entering a further three rounds of selection between March and April in 2016. A world title would be huge for Jang’s Rio 2016 campaign, and he hopes to also hit big in November’s Asian Para Championships in Bangkok, Thailand. “I hope to end the year with a gold medal,” he said. but the coaches of each team play a vital part in preparing them for international competition and potential success.  para archery provides the coaches of each nation a different proposition compared to that of their able-bodied counterparts and one of those spoke about by many of the coaches is the dedication and passion needed to succeed – and the desire to train each day to the maximum “You train people in para-archery just like you would anybody else You look at their strengths and weaknesses and then you adapt,” USA coach Randi Smith explained On the subject of potentially finding new archers she said: “I would be looking at alignment and a passion for the sport If they enjoy the sport and want to improve then there is no difference.” There is, however, a certain amount of creativity needed within the training schedule. Because of the requirements of different impairments, challenges arise. Para athletes with one arm or, in Matt Stutzman’s case have to adapt to their approach to excel in archery Matt delivered a poignant message: “If you persevere who travelled to Donaueschingen without a coach said they felt that coaching para archers requires a more flexible approach to basic technique “In terms of training there are not many differences, but more problems can occur when you coach an impaired athlete,” said Marek Steiner, competing in the recurve men’s open competition in Donaueschingen. For example, those shooting with one leg may find stability more of an issue, in particular when it’s windy. “For para archers you have to be prepared to adapt the training every day if needed, as weather conditions can play a part for certain impairments.” Across sports, athletes give up day jobs or other pursuits to find excellence. But, for team managers, organising the support required for those athletes to spend their time effectively training is also a consideration. “We need more resources because the majority cannot shoot or train on their own,” explained Mike Peart, head coach of the British Paralympic archery team. “Para athletes require full-time coaches, especially with the standard of the sport increasing every single year.” The Great Britain team was successful at London 2012 and has one of the biggest squads at Donaueschingen 2015. It was important for the nation to build on the successes of the last Paralympic Games. Mike concluded: “You have to train harder, adjust fine details and simply carry on improving, because the rest of the competitors will be doing similar. That’s the same in both able-bodied and para-athlete competitions.” and Hunter Jumpers in Alachua County Florida is your ultimate solution for enhancing your horse’s receptivity to [...] Registered properties of HorsesDaily®Inc.

Dienstagmorgen verhindert dass Bewohner der BEA Donaueschingen aneinander geraten beziehungsweise dass es zu tätlichen Auseinandersetzungen kam Mitarbeiter des Sicherheitsdienstes teilten der Polizei gegen 21.30 Uhr mit dass es auf dem Gelände der BEA Donaueschingen zu Tumulten zwischen mehreren Bewohnern gekommen sei Als die ersten Polizeistreifen auf dem Gelände in der Friedhofstraße eintrafen wurden die Beamten mit 100 bis 150 Personen konfrontiert deren Stimmung äußerst gereizt und aggressiv war Zwischen mehreren Flüchtlingen unterschiedlichster Nationen war es zu Meinungsverschiedenheiten hinsichtlich der Benutzung der Duschräume gekommen Zwischenzeitlich waren 19 Polizeistreifen auf dem Gelände der BEA Donaueschingen eingetroffen so dass die Flüchtlinge nur durch den massiven Einsatz der Polizei bewegt werden konnten in ihre Häuser beziehungsweise Wohnung zurückzukehren Gegen 22.30 Uhr war die Ruhe auf dem Gelände zunächst wieder hergestellt Gegen 23 Uhr spitzte sich die Lage wieder zu als sich die Kontrahenten auf dem Gelände erneut begegneten Sofort versammelten sich weit über 100 Personen auf dem Hof wurde ein 37-jähriger Anführer in Gewahrsam genommen und für den Rest der Nacht in einer Arrestzelle untergebracht Während sich die Menschenmenge auf dem Hof versammelte wurde aus einem Fenster eine Glasflasche in Richtung der Menge geworfen Der 24-jährige Flaschenwerfer wurde ermittelt und ebenfalls in Gewahrsam genommen Auch er musste bis Dienstagmorgen in einer Arrestzelle nächtigen Die Lage hatte sich danach beruhigt und weitere Tumulte oder Auseinandersetzungen waren nicht zu verzeichnen so dass gegen 1 Uhr die Polizeistreifen abgezogen wurden Stadtname findet sich auf Zug wieder. Besondere Taufe am Bahnhof Löffingen - Nun hat das Baarstädtchen Löffingen nicht nur ein Segelflugzeug, das durch die Lüfte schwebt und für Löffingen wirbt, bald wird auch ein Zug den Namen des Baarstädtchens in die Welt hinausfahren Ob bei der Eröffnungsfahrt auch der parlamentarische Staatssekretär im Bundesverkehrsministerium Steffen Bilger der Konzernbevollmächtige der Deutschen Bahn für Baden-Württemberg und Freiburgs Oberbürgermeister Martin Horn im Zug sitzen eventuell kommen sie auch direkt zur Festveranstaltung nach Donaueschingen Die Tauffeier: "Die Tauffeier im Baarstädtchen verspricht schon etwas Besonderes zu werden" wie Organisator und Stadtmarketingleiter Karlheinz Rontke verspricht Die Gäste im Zug werden von Bürgermeister Tobias Link begrüßt Bereits um 13.30 Uhr lädt die Stadt die Bevölkerung ein zu Glühwein Die Stadtmusik wird musikalisch die Gäste begrüßen und diese auch während der Zeremonie und danach unterhalten Die Taufe werden Bürgermeister Tobias Link Landrätin Dorothea Störr-Ritter und David Weltzien mit ihren Grußworten begleiten Den kirchlichen Segen für den Löffinger Zug spenden Diakon Thilo Knöller und von der evangelischen Kirche Annegret Krieg Ob eine Flasche Löffinger Sekt wie bei einer Schiffstaufe direkt am Zug zerschellt oder eher wie bei den Formel 1 Rennen sprühend auf den Zug verteilt wird Auf jeden Fall wird der Löffinger Zug mit Löffinger Jubiläumssekt getauft werden Löffinger Zug: Die Idee für einen Löffinger Zug auf der neuen Ost-West Achse der Breisgau-S-Bahn war eine gemeinsame Aktion von Bürgermeister Tobias Link und Stadtmarketingleiter Karlheinz Rontke anlässlich der Festjahrs 1200 Jahre Löffingen Ihre Anfrage bei den Verantwortlichen stieß von Anfang an auf offene Ohren "Im Jubiläumsjahr noch einen Löffinger Zug freut sich das Löffinger Stadtoberhaupt Natürlich habe man sich an die Vorgaben der Bahn gehalten dass nun auf dem Zug das Löffinger Wappen mit Schriftzug zu sehen ist dass die Bevölkerung zahlreich zur Zugtaufe kommt um sich als große Gemeinschaft zu präsentieren Elektrifizierung: Die Elektrifizierung der hinter Höllentalbahn war eine große Herausforderung Trotzdem blieb man im Zeitplan und es gab auch keine größeren Unfälle zu verzeichnen "Für die Fliegerbombe am Löffinger Bahnhof konnten wir nichts" sagt Friedmann mit Blick auf den Fund eines Blindgängers im Sommer Der Schwerpunkt auf der Strecke zwischen Neustadt und Donaueschingen waren die fünf Tunnels wobei der Dögginger Tunnel mit einer Länge von 535 Meter technisch eine Herausforderung war Die Gleise mussten Stück für Stück bis 70 Zentimeter im instabilen Muschelkalk tiefer gelegt werden Die Zukunft der Höllentalbahn ist mit der Elektrifizierung gesichert auch wenn das Großprojekt teurer als geplant wurde Löffingen kämpfte: Schon bevor die Höllentalbahn gebaut wurde kämpfte das Baarstädtchen Löffingen um die Streckenführung prominenten Befürwortern und vor allem auch mit Geldleistungen und Geländeabtritt setzte man sich damals dafür ein August 1901 saßen Großherzog Friedrich I und Fürst Max Egon von Fürstenberg im Zug An jedem Bahnhof gab es einen Halt mit den Honoren der Gemeinden und mit Auftritten der Vereine und Schüler In Löffingen gab es einen längeren Halt um Bürgermeister Karl Kuster mit dem Verdienstkreuz des Zähringer Löwen zu würdigen Kosten: Die Kosten der Elektrifizierung der Höllentalbahn haben sich von 30 Millionen auf 38 Millionen Euro erhöht Die Mehrkosten für das umsteigefreie Fahren vom Kaiserstuhl über Freiburg Donaueschingen bis ins Oberzentrum nach Villingen sind nicht nur der Erhöhung der allgemeinen Baukosten geschuldet auch musste ein Mehraufwand an Logistik und Material vor allem in den Tunnels gemeistert werden Hier habe man im Drei-Schicht-Betrieb gearbeitet Ebenfalls nicht eingeplant war der Helikoptereinsatz um die Strommasten in unwegsames Gelände zu transportieren Das Nahverkehrsprojekt Breisgau-S-Bahn geht mit dem Fahrplanwechsel am 15 Dezember auf der Höllentalbahn in Betrieb 26 neue elektrische Triebwagen des Herstellers Alstom Coradia Continental sollen den Komfort der Fahrgäste verbessern Die Triebwagenführer haben bereits eine Schulung auf den neuen ET 1440 hinter sich die über eine Nennleistung von 2900 Kilowatt verfügen und mit acht angetriebenen Achsen bis zu 160 Stundenkilometer schnell sind Die barrierefreien Wagen bieten komfortable Sitze WLAN und

Donaueschingen - Großeinsatz für Polizei und Security am Dienstagnachmittag in der Notunterkunft in der Friedhofstraße Nach Informationen der Polizei wollten zunächst rund 100 Flüchtlinge zum Marsch in die Innenstadt die Unterkunft verlassen und gegen eine geplante Verlegung 100 Flüchtlinge wollen in die Innenstadt Hintergrund: Das Regierungspräsidium Freiburg plant für einen der folgenden Tage eine Anschlussunterbringung und somit Verlegung von 250 bereits registrierten Flüchtlingen die derzeit in der Notunterkunft in Donaueschingen untergebracht sind Kräfte aus umliegenden Revieren helfen mit Von diese Planung offensichtlich nicht begeistert versammelten sich gegen 14 Uhr zunächst etwa 100 und in der Folge insgesamt bis zu 400 der untergebrachten Flüchtlinge auf dem Areal des Konversionsgeländes Hierbei kam es mehrfach zu Unmutsäußerungen Um eine mögliche Eskalation der teils aufgebrachten Menge zu verhindern wurden Polizeikräfte der umliegenden Reviere im Bereich der Notunterkunft zusammengezogen Diese wurden auch durch Einsatzkräfte der Bereitschaftspolizei des Polizeipräsidiums bei ihrem Einsatz unterstützt In mehreren Gesprächen konnte die Menge beruhigt werden Zu Sachbeschädigungen oder anderen Straftatbeständen ist es gestern Nachmittag nicht gekommen
