8th international championship in road bowling
The 8th international championship in road bowling took place on the 17th of November 2017 along the Elbe River. This year's team captains were found among students of the Chair of Macromolecular chemistry, who lead their teams onto the 5.3 km track starting in Dresden Kemnitz.
Along the bank of the river, teams had their designation Radebeul on sight and proceeded on the rainy track towards the antique Gohlis wind mill. Excessive food and drink supply helped to defy the typical weather and a tight competition emerged.
In the afternoon, the sun helped the teams to read the track and team Blue around captain B.Sc. Weigel took a lead they would not forfeit. Teams Red around B.Sc. Bunk and Yellow around B.Sc. Gürtler could not keep pace on the narrower track and finally finished with the same amount of throws 2nd.
A concluding meeting was held in the Gasthaus Oberschänke in Radebeul Kötzschenbroda for discussion of tactics and suitable throwing techniques.
