With two gold, three silver and three bronze medals, the 8 Klauser mat athletes, including one female athlete, brought a total of 8 medals with them from Salzburg.
A wrestler who has been the undisputed number one heavyweight wrestler for many years is Johannes Ludescher. The 30-year-old KSK Klaus star athlete has secured the national crown in the highest weight class for the ninth time in a row since 2014. The army athlete at the Vorarlberg Olympic Center is fit again after a break of several months due to injury and now wants to set the course for a ticket for the 2024 Summer Olympics.
On the other hand, for the first time on the top step of the podium at a state championship was teammate Luke Lins. The student at the Sportgymnasium Dornbirn, member of the ÖARV-U-20 national team, won his three fights in the class up to 86 kg with 31:5 technical points. In the final, the 19-year-old had the upper hand against Daniel Gastl from Inzing with 5:1 points.
The Klauser were only stopped in the final Marco Nigsch (74 kg) and Lauren Hartman (79 kg) and the hermit Emilia Hartman (62kg). For Luca Hartman (Claus, 65 kg), Paul Maier (86 kg) and Leonard Junger (125 kg) each received a bronze award.
