TV Bad Orb starts a new era: Foundation of Team Bad Orb UG for triathletes!

The sport of triathlon has reached a new milestone in Bad Orb. TV Bad Orb is planning to found Team Bad Orb UG next year in order to further promote the successful development of their triathlon Bundesliga women's teams. This was announced by the club's chairwoman Lara Bangert, who points out that the current club statutes can no longer be reconciled with professionalization and could therefore endanger the non-profit status of the club. Thanks to the support of sponsors, the club's triathlon teams have grown to Bundesliga level in recent years and have the potential to grow even further.

The new company will create an independent structure for the two teams and thus take the step towards professionalization. “The founding of Team Bad Orb UG signals to our partners, sponsors and the public the growing importance of triathlon in Bad Orb,” explains Bangert. Given the increasing level of performance and the increasing demands placed on teams, this step is essential.

An important step for the future

The planned foundation responds to the needs of modern sport. Bangert emphasizes that sponsors are less responsible for the larger group of members and more specifically for the teams. This asymmetry contradicts the spirit of TV Bad Orb's statutes. With the new company, those responsible not only want to secure long-term sporting successes, but also support athletes from other departments within the club.

"A well-functioning team is no coincidence. It needs a clear structure and financial resources in order to be able to work at the highest level," adds Bangert. The first discussions with existing partners have already taken place and many are showing interest in participating as shareholders. Other supporters are also warmly invited to do their part to promote the sport of triathlon.

Triathlon – A sport on the rise

Triathlon itself has an eventful history. The first documented competition took place in San Diego in 1974, organized as an alternative to regular training. The sport has grown explosively over the past few decades and has now become one of the fastest growing sports in the world. The International Triathlon Union (ITU) was founded in 1989 and has since been committed to the further development and popularization of the sport. Over 170 national associations are now affiliated, and triathlon is very popular among athletes of all ages.

In Bad Orb they are committed to continuing this trend and ushering in another chapter in the history of triathlon with the founding of Team Bad Orb UG. Those responsible are confident that this measure will not only strengthen the club, but also contribute to the promotion of the entire sport of triathlon in the region. Those interested can find more information about the team and its initiatives on the club's website team-bad-orb-gesund-im-spessart.de.

With this step, TV Bad Orb shows in an impressive way that triathlon is much more than a trend sport - it is an important part of club life and regional identity. Whether beginner or professional, everyone is welcome to get involved in sports and become part of this exciting community.

It remains exciting to see how the TV Bad Orb teams will develop in the coming season and which new athletes will join them. In any case, the course is well set with the new UG.
