German Throwdown 2025

Over the weekend, I competed in the German Throwdown 2025 in Mainz, where I competed in the Intermediate Individual Female category.
After two days of intense workouts, I managed to advance to the finals, for a top 10 finish, and ultimately took home 10th place.

The race weekend was divided into three workouts on Saturday and two on Sunday, followed by the finals. Each tested a different aspect of physical preparation - from gymnastic, technical and strength skills, to challenging conditioning sections that tested the head and will to endure to the end.

The whole race had a great atmosphere. But what the organizers failed to do this year was the facilities for the athletes, which were really inadequate for so many people, and also the relatively small warm-up room.
The live stream was absolutely mastered and the schedule going on time plus the atmosphere of the race was perfect.

I was really pleased with the strong Czech team that made the trip to Germany. It was amazing to see how many Czech athletes are making a name for themselves on the European stage, cheering each other on and supporting each other.

I think these athletes deserve a mention:
