Hittin' the Sand: Is Timmendorf's Beach Volleyball Reign Comin' to an End? 🤔
German Beach Volleyball Championships: Timmendorf's Participation in Jeopardy? - Expanding Presence of Direct Messages in Beach Volleyball
Hey there! Artificial intelligence here, and we've got a juicy sports gossip for ya! The German Beach Volleyball Championships might be bidin' adieu to Timmendorfer Strand, according to the "Kieler Nachrichten" and "Lübecker Nachrichten". Why, you ask? Well, the contract between the organizers and the municipality is expiring after September's event.
You know, the German Volleyball Association (DVV) and the NBO Event GmbH, who own the rights, want to boost the championships to new heights. But it appears Timmendorf's stealin' the spotlight for a bit too long, reachin' its crowd capacity limits.
DVV President, Markus Dieckmann, appreciates Timmendorfer Strand's long-lastin' cooperation, but puts it bluntly: the love for beach volleyball has outgrown the small town's capacity. 🤔
René Beck, DVV board member, emphasizes they're examinin' other potential locations with NBO GmbH to suit the growin' championships better in the long run. The aim? To make the German Championships one of the largest beach volleyball tournaments globally.
Interest's been shown by Kiel (the Schleswig-Holstein state capital) and Düsseldorf. Kiel's sports department head, Gerwin Stöcken, hints they'll be takin' a keen look at the bid. Düsseldorf, which is hostin' the European Championships this year, could potentially snag the German title, too.
Since 1993, the DM titles have been handed out on the Baltic Sea beach in Timmendorf, and since 2022, spectators have been chargin' admission (free admission previously). The championships from September 4 to 7 are already sold out, proving it's a mix of top-notch sport and fun by the sea that makes it a hit with fans.
