http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReqwCXuxy_w http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7j8WrF8YGCk Yesterday, I rediscovered on my hard drive two old videos that show the final in men's alternating doubles at the 2011 German Ringtennis Championships. Christian Kämpfer and Sebastian Weber of RTG Weidenau—who won their semi-final against Timo & Rainer Hufnagel—played against Alexej Ermak and me (TSV Neubiberg), after winning our semi-final against Tobias… Continue reading #rediscovered: The Final in Men’s Alternating Doubles at the 2011 German Ringtennis Ch’ships

I’m back … and I’ve been playing some Ringtennis
It's been quite some time since my last post, but now that my PhD thesis is almost finished (like, really, 99% finished), I'm gonna make some more time for blogging again :). For a start, I'll write about this year's German Championships in Ringtennis, which I played three weeks ago in Recklinghausen. Statistically, it was my… Continue reading I’m back … and I’ve been playing some Ringtennis
2014 in Review: World and German Champion!
Now that 2014 is almost over and there are only some league matches left, let's have a look at my past year in Ringtennis. All in all, it was a way better year than 2013. First, my fellow teammates of TSV Neubiberg-Ottobrunn and I came in second place in the German premier league (Bundesliga), only losing… Continue reading 2014 in Review: World and German Champion!
The 2014 German Championships in Ringtennis
This one is a bit delayed, as for the past two weeks, I was rather busy preparing two research papers for the 2015 International Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI). Let's hope it was worth the effort and at least one of my submissions will get accepted 🙂 Mixed Doubles Now I have finally… Continue reading The 2014 German Championships in Ringtennis
Test Match vs. Belarus and Bodensee Tournament
The past weekend, I participated in the Bodensee tournament, which was held right next to Lake Constance in the south of Germany. The tournament wasn't overly successful for me, with a third place in mixed doubles being my best result that I secured together with Lydia Schidelko. In the quarter-final of the men's singles competition,… Continue reading Test Match vs. Belarus and Bodensee Tournament
Back at the Top
Following my victories at the Siegen Tournament and the South German Championships, I'm back at the top of the German ranking after almost two years. All five men that played for Germany at the World Team Championships (which are also the top 5 of the ranking) participated in the men's singles competition at the South… Continue reading Back at the Top
The Most Important Game of my Life
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyiUg7W1-N0 Do you remember that post in which I talk about how nervous I was when I had to play the last men's double at the 2010 world team championship? Forget about that story! This one is far better. Vereeniging, South Africa, 5th of April 2014. We had lost the first four games of the… Continue reading The Most Important Game of my Life
Playing Ringtennis in a South African Township
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gp0GDT2VN5A If I had to choose the two most amazing moments of our trip to the world cup in South Africa, the first one would be for sure when we played ringtennis at a primary school in the township of Wattville. We went there together with Abrie Pienaar and Johan Ferreira, who are involved in… Continue reading Playing Ringtennis in a South African Township
31 days later … #Ringtennis #worldCup
It's been one month since the 2014 Ringtennis World Cup in South Africa now and I really needed those four weeks to digest all the experiences—the ones with the national team but also rather personal ones. However, before writing about the world cup in one or two separate posts, I'm gonna talk about the open… Continue reading 31 days later … #Ringtennis #worldCup
