Oldenburg/Wilhelmshaven – As successful medal hamsters, the teams and individual starters from the Oldenburger TB said goodbye to the winter break during a final, long competition weekend in the areas of dance and gymnastics. The title duels at state level organized by the Wilhelmshavener SSV were also about qualification for national competitions. “The OTB was able to show its strong side again,” was the conclusion of department head and trainer Susanne Köster.
In the small groups in the DTB dance area, the OTB formation “Relevé petit” with Lina Kleinschmidt, Patricia Prese and Antonia Köster beat the team “Maravilo” from Wildeshausen for the third time in a row and became national champions in the 15+ age group.
