History of archery Archery was originally developed as a form of hunting. As a long-range weapon, the bow played an important role in military conflicts for a long time. There are archaeological finds of fully preserved arrows that prove that bows and arrows have been used by humans for around 12,000 years. Modern archery developed in England in the 16th century. The first known tournament took place there in 1583 with over 3,000 participants. In the middle of the 19th century, archery became a popular women’s sport in Great Britain. Archery was part of the program for the first time at the 1900 Olympic Games in Paris. Competitions were also held at the games in St. Louis (1904), London (1908) and Antwerp (1920). After a 52-year break, the sport was reintroduced in Munich in 1972 and has been part of the program ever since. In Germany, awareness of the sport increased with the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. The silver medal won by Lisa Unruh from Marzahn in the individual competition is the main reason for this. Her bronze medal with the team at the next Games in Tokyo further increased her public recognition. Archery at the Olympics There are a variety of disciplines and competitions in archery. However, only the World Archery Federation (WA) outdoor competition, which is shot with a recurve bow, is Olympic. In this discipline, the target has a diameter of 122 cm and is 70 m away from the shooter. In a qualifying round, 64 athletes each shoot a total of 72 arrows, which are divided into two rounds. In each round, 6 times 6 arrows are shot, for each of which 4 minutes are allowed. A maximum of 10 points can be scored per arrow, i.e. 720 points in total. The results of the qualifying round determine the pairings for the subsequent knockout round (1st place against 64th place, 2nd place against 63rd place, etc.). In these duels, three arrows are shot per set. Two points are awarded for winning a set, and one point each in the event of a tie. Whoever reaches 6 points first wins the duel and moves on to the next round. A total of five competitions will be held. Two individual and two team competitions, each for athletes and a mixed team tournament. The team competitions use the results from the qualifying rounds of the individual competitions to determine the seeding list for the knockout round. However, the top four teams have already qualified directly for the quarter-finals. The pairings for the mixed competition are also determined by qualification results. Archery equipment The most important piece of equipment is the bow. There are different types of bow. However, the most commonly used are recurve and compound bows. The arrows are also absolutely essential. These can be made of wood, fiberglass, aluminum or carbon, but aluminum and carbon arrows have the best flight characteristics. In addition, a quiver (for easy and safe transportation of the arrows), a tensioning cord (for safe tensioning and untensioning of the bow), a finger guard (made of leather and covers the front of the finger) and an arm guard (prevents injuries from arrow contact) are required.

In this article you will get to know the sport of finswimming. This is the fastest form of human locomotion (without a motor) in the water. You only need your own muscle power and a monofin to move around. As a result, the propulsion is approx. 12-15 times greater than with classic swimming. The fastest swimmers can reach a top speed of up to 3 meters per second. History and future The origins of finswimming can be found in the physical training of combat divers. The first European Championships were held at the end of the 1960s. The extended stereo fins that the combat divers also used were still used here. From the 1972 European Championships onwards, the first athletes also competed with a monofin. As a result, the crawl swimming technique was replaced by the faster and more aesthetic dolphin movement. Although finswimming has been recognized as an Olympic discipline by the IOC since 1986, it has not yet been included in the Olympic Games programme. The low level of awareness will be one of the reasons. Nevertheless, numerous national and international competitions are held. If the popularity of the sport can be further increased, it should be possible to include it in the Olympic program. The competition There are two different disciplines. Dive 50m under water while holding your breath. The current world record on this course is 0:13.70 min. The longer distances of 100m, 400m and 800m are completed with the smallest possible compressed air cylinders. As in classic swimming, competitions over 50m, 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m and 1,500m are held on the surface of the water. German finswimmers are organized in the Verband Deutscher Sporttaucher e.V. and practice the sport on an amateur basis. In other nations (Russia, Ukraine, China, Korea, Greece and Italy), finswimming has now become a professional sport. Over the last 20-30 years, the popularity of the sport has steadily increased. Finswimming is now practiced as a competitive sport in more than 40 nations worldwide. Physical requirements A very high effort of the torso and legs is necessary to move the large propulsion surface of the monofin dynamically, rhythmically and quickly. Learning the correct dolphin swimming technique requires a high level of coordination. In addition, snorkels or compressed air diving equipment must be used correctly. To keep arm and body movements dynamic, you need a lot of strength and flexibility in your torso, shoulders and arms at the same time. High levels of exertion with held breath and maximum muscle work at the same time require a psychological willingness to exert themselves on the part of the athlete. National successes and records Annett Lopez from Tauchsportclub Marzahn e.V. was honored in the “Adults” category at the 2023 Sports Awards in Marzahn-Hellersdorf. She won 2x gold, 2x silver and 1x bronze at the 2023 Masters World Championships. Other German finswimmers are also internationally successful. Johanna Schikora from Tauchclub fez e.V. in Berlin holds the women’s European records for 800m and 1500m on the surface. The men’s European records for 50m and 100m on the surface and 100m underwater were set by Max Poschart from SC DHfK Leipzig. Justus Mörstedt from SC DHfK Leipzig holds the world record in the men’s 200m underwater.

In keeping with the warming temperatures, today we are introducing you to the sport of disc golf. It can only be practiced outdoors. Even if not everyone knows the sport, it can be practiced by anyone, young or old. Good results can be achieved with a little practice. The rules The aim of disc golf is to complete a course consisting of 18 holes (fewer are possible) with as few throws as possible. Each lane consists of a release point from which the disc is thrown and a metal catch basket in the direction of which the disc is thrown. A lane is finished when the disk lands in the basket. Depending on the level of difficulty, the courses can be between 40 and 250 meters long. The equipment You don’t need much to play disc golf. You can buy a basic set of washers for as little as €25-30 on the Internet. It is advisable to ensure that such a set consists of at least 3 targets of different weights for different distances. A catch basket is also required, which serves as a target in disc golf. There are 3 disc golf courses in Berlin, some of which are open to the public: in Lichterfelde, Kreuzberg and Weißensee. The Marzahn-Hellersdorf District Sports Association offers you the opportunity to rent basic equipment consisting of two catch baskets and various targets. Please contact us and we will organize the rental. Worth knowing Disc golf is suitable for everyone, whether young or old. Relaxed exercise in nature, social interaction, fairness, respect and mutual esteem make the sport a unique experience. If the sport is practiced more ambitiously, good eye-hand coordination, as well as strength and dynamics when throwing are important skills. The sport was developed in the USA in the 1970s. The first disc golf groups also formed in Germany in 1979/80. Today, around 1,500 disc golfers in Germany play regularly. There are now over 3,000 courses worldwide and the number is increasing. Here is an overview of Berlin clubs that offer disc golf.
