You can hear Michael Fuchs going crazy

3 finals already, good day for Germany

The giant killer local hope Henri Hurskainen one step away to become European Champion, can he tame Marc Zwiebler? None of Danish MS secures final ticket, well it's very suprising indeed.

a very interesting Euro Champ indeed...in MS, no Danes in finals....how long ago was the last time this happened? in XD, former world no. 1 pair mateusiak/zieba finally back on form and against a relatively unknown danish pair in the final...the other ones were pretty predictable though

Man, the music during the intervals is annoying

Much better angle as well. Plus normal sound, not mangled like on BWIN

Only dire picture quality ....

Polands first ever title at the EC.....congrats!

**KZ** · 04-21-2012, 09:34 AM

i hope the poles will make it to the olympics...they are an excellent pair...former world number ones but they haven't played that well the past few months...did zieba just come back from injury? anyways...good that they are back on form

**undeadshot** · 04-21-2012, 09:51 AM

Congratulations to Robert/Zieba for winning their first EC. Also, to Marc Zwiebler for winning the MS event which is strange to see that there are no Denmark representatives in that final.

Yes, fortunately Zieba is already well after the injury. Some problems rather with Mateusiak' health during EC...

Marc Zwiebler stopped local hero Henri Hurskainen gallant run at finale yesterday. Danish players bagged 3 titles here, Tine Baun v Juliane Schenk should be the epic battle when Tine closed deciding game with narrow margin, 21-19 / 16-21 / 21-19.

Funny thing that the last German gold at the EC it was held in Karlskrona as well 40 years ago. Seems to be a good place for Germany

**KB@TB Em** · 04-22-2012, 10:59 AM

Really happy for Marc, nice to have a gold for Germany!! Juliane was so close to get a second...
Good to see that we are not too far away from Denmark and being clearly the 2nd best nation in Europe :-D (y)
