I am very proud that we were able to provide our athletes with this great setting at the 2nd Austrian Championships. I would especially like to thank Holger Wernicke from the Vienna Sporthotel, who welcomed us to his facility and supported us vigorously. Many thanks to the main event sponsor ProKennex, who provided great prizes as well as high-quality balls and nets.
