Master Athletics Competition: Basedas Secure Three Vice-Champ Titles
In the recent Masters Athletics World Championships held in Göteborg, Sweden, athletes from SV Grün-Weiss Harburg showcased their skills across various events, including running, throwing, and jumping. The ten-day competition saw a number of impressive performances, but unfortunately, detailed results and highlights for Wiebke Baseda and Jonas Baseda were not readily available in the general search results.
Jonas Baseda (M40), a former member of the national youth squad, focused his attention on the javelin event. In a competition affected by a strong headwind, he managed to secure the silver medal with a consistent throw of around 60 meters, and a best effort of 59.97 meters. His childhood friend, Stephan Steding, also participated in the javelin competition, with Steding throwing 61.16 meters in the fourth round. Swedish athlete Andreas Wulff won bronze with a throw of 56.09 meters.
Wiebke Baseda (W65), another SV Grün-Weiss Harburg athlete, took part in a 7-event competition, the javelin, and potentially a relay. Despite facing headwind in her running events, she managed to secure the silver medal in her events, with a nearly 900-point lead over third-placed Jeanette Ashton from Great Britain.
The W65 team also achieved success in the 4x400m relay, with Baseda joining Birgit Reinke-Wiese, Dorit Stehr, and Angelika Albrecht to secure the silver medal. Unfortunately, the U.S. team won the relay, but the German team was awarded the silver medal after them.
The championships marked the end of the season for the Masters athletes of SV Grün-Weiss Harburg, who faced cold temperatures, headwind, and rain throughout the competition. Despite the challenging conditions, both Wiebke and Jonas Baseda demonstrated their resilience and skill, earning their place amongst the world's best Masters athletes.
