EUROPEAN TREIBBALL START 2023, Tachyon Sport Arena, Čerčany, 28. 1. 2023

On January 28, 2023, this year's first European treibball competition took place in the Tachyon Sport Arena. And it was a truly European race, not just in name. Due to diseases of both dogs and handlers, from the originally registered 48 teams, 36 teams from 4 countries (Czech Republic, Hungary, Germany, and Austria) finally took part in the. The main organizers were Pavla Hejčová Langová and Jiří Čedík, and since both had their first time as organizers, our help in the preparation, during the races and in the processing of the evaluation and video documentation was quite significant. We also prepared the program for the SMART run, and I acted as a judge.
Generous sponsorships made it possible to pay for the luxurious hall while maintaining a reasonable entry fee, as well as the purchase of nice trophies and valuable prizes.
The representation of breeds was very varied: Australian Kelpie, Australian Shepherd, Barzoi, Bohemian Shepherd, Border Collie, Collie, Dachshund, Entlebuch Cattle Dog, Labrador, Malinois, Medium Poodle, Miniature Schnauzer, Mudi, Poodle, Portugese Water Dog, Sheltie, Schnauzer, and many crossbreeds.
After her TPLO surgery for a torn cruciate knee ligament, Aisha was already walking beautifully at the time of the races, but she will have to wait a few more months to start the races, so this time she has participated as a spectator and only Barnie has competed.

At her almost 13 years, Barnie gave a beautiful performance in the TRB 2 L class (she had a little trouble to reach the goal in the FAST run, but she did very well in the SMART run) and she finished in the incredible second place. She was defeated by Pretty and Jirka, who train with Milan, so Milan raised a conqueror and a potential successor.
In addition to Jirka's victory with Pretty, we were also pleased with the good performances and placings of other teams that train with us in Pesopark. Our teams placed in medal positions in all the classes where they started.
Summary of the results of the teams from Pesopark: TRB Z L Kamila and Shaun: 2nd place, TRB 1 S Karolína and Cappi: 3rd place, TRB 1 L: Silvie and Lucky: 2nd place, TRB 1 L-Senior: Silvie and Eimy: 1st place, Silvie and Fleriss: 2nd place. TRB 2 L: Jiří + Pretty: 1st place, Milan + Barnie: 2nd place. In the highest class TRB 3, due to the illness of Aisha and the German rivals, only one dog – the young Kikin – competed. However, his performance was beautiful, and the victory deserved, he would certainly have placed well even in the competition of older and more experienced rivals.

Detailed tables, photo documentation and a summary video document the results.
And at the end, we present a curiosity: joint photos of the smallest and largest participants.
