01 Bonn: Silver Laurel leaf for Olympian archive footage on a fitness trail. Walter Scheel speaks to Olympic participants, o-ton: "the results of our athletes deserve praise. You are, and everyone who deals with this matter, knows it so remarkable as the sport in our country - and especially the performance sport - not with such absolute perfection and a such enforcement will is encouraged, as is the case for example in the socialist countries. Top athletes are means to undergo the body a workout, that sometimes more can take the forms of torture. Freedom of choice, to take it and to say that responsibility against the health and the profession of 'Yes' have can possibly say priority one before the "you", the other.

In society: "Silver Laurel leaf" President Scheel slips even in a training suit, if it applies, to weave a good thing! As a marathon runner, he supported the trim trotting action who wants to make an entire people legs. Man stay-even as athletes an appeal to Germany's Olympic athletes.

Federal President Scheel: "the achievements of our athletes earn recognition." You are, and everyone concerned with this matter know that as remarkable as the sport in our country and especially the performance sport - not with such absolute perfection and a such enforcement will is encouraged, as is the case for example in the socialist countries.
Top athletes are means to undergo the body a workout, that sometimes more can take the forms of torture. Freedom of choice, to take that and to say yes to responsibility against the health and the profession have can possibly say priority one before the "you", the other. Everyone, ladies, gentlemen, who loves the sport, should protect him from those, who still want to resolve this natural reserve of serene relaxation, freedom and creativity, to add another to the many constraints of our time."
After his sport-philosophical digression, the President awarded the most successful German Olympic athletes - with the "Silver Laurel leaf", the highest award for national athletes. Had the German Sports Association for this honor suggested including a total of 95 participants of the summer and Winter Games Olympic champion Alexander Pusch, who won 4 medals in Montreal with his team-mates - the biggest success in the history of the German Fechtsports. Alwin Schockemöhle, which is shiny on the route Montreal rehabilitated. On his Super gelding "Warwick", he won individual gold and team silver.
Also those athletes who have taken already farewell from active sports were honoured in Bonn. The most prominent example: Rosi Mittermaier, a two-time Olympic champion, who completed her career in Innsbruck with a unique success series. In the special slalom and in downhill she won gold in the giant slalom silver. Her no one evil took their subsequent conversion into the camp of Commerce. Long gone are the days, where it was considered worthy of punishment, to transform sporting success into cash. This policy: "Euregio" agricultural problems, border, appreciation of the German mark tags for the discussion among European neighbors, who between foundations located - for example, in the triangle between Munster, Arnhem and Enschede, In the german Dutch border region the United Europe from the bottom is formed Euregio - are a composite of several communities within and beyond the border - is a model for cross-border cooperation within the European Community. Culturally and politically, this room was a unit in the 17th century. Because German and Dutch build on today. In German municipalities, you know it as well as in Dutch: a modern industrial society needs large economic areas neglected border must to an inland area join together, developed a new momentum. In some hours of the day, Dutch and German cars here hold the balance. Neighborhood begins on a small scale. And authorities in the border region follow suit, kindergartens, in which mutually support his kids can be, now part of everyday life as the joint use of the two national fire fighters, for which there is no limit in an emergency. Common exercises include the border program. The economic structure of the Euregio is in upheaval: textile industry and agriculture were the dominant industries in the present day. But both are not among the growth sectors. German and Dutch therefore jointly developed a new perspective: the expansion of the Dientstleistungs sector. The private supply should be further gefödert, the transportation system completed, provided jobs in the tourism industry, Europe - day seems more like their divisive meaning. In sports: "Germany final" Germany's best bowlers met to play himself in Hamburg to the participants in the World Championship in Persia between themselves. The competition was great: ladies and gentlemen may send only a representative to Tehran. The great bowling alley on the Reeperbahn was crowded with 2,000 spectators. Hamburg of the sport of bowling. 20,000 Hanseatic League, organized in clubs and BSG, access in their spare time, alternately to the black plastic ball and beer and grain. Alcohol was, however, strictly prohibited for the Germany finals.
Also the world champion comes from Hamburg: Anne-Dore Häfker that ambitious competitors had to face in the first round. The native of Hamburg failed on their home track. She disappointed to let six foreign players in the final. Six in the women's match was played at series - eight for men. The six point best best rites the finale, after the knock out system. The a quick decision is guaranteed.
Gisela Lins from Dortmund manages a strike: all strike! Her strongest rival Ursula Eckert makes it to her. The 2nd run decides about the journey to Persia. Lins or Eckert? A strike must admit defeat Ursula Eckert of the blond Dortmund after the other, but at the end. Gisela Lins the ticket brings with her last throw to Tehran.
Dieter Collmann from Hanan was only eighth in the 1st round. Almost all players to the victims fall his fightback. Tehran in its sights: the German Youth Champion Kornak. Despite his youth, he considered cool veteran. For Dieter Collmann's is not quite to the 1st place. The German youth champion which is repeated by a wafer-thin margin. In November he is Gisela Lins in Persia bowling.
