The Dresden Ice Skating Club ( EVD for short ) is a Dresden sports club founded in 2001 with a focus on ice skating , in which short track and speed skating are practiced on a competitive level. The third division is speed skating . EVD runners have played a major role in most of the international successes of German short trackers since the 2000s, which have occurred primarily in the European short track championships and occasionally in the short track world championships and in the short track world cup . The club is therefore considered the top club for German short trackers.

prehistory

An early predecessor of the Dresden ice skating club was the speed skating section of the SC Einheit Dresden , founded in November 1970 . a. rowers and track and field athletes also trained successfully. The strongest speed skaters of this former Dresden district sports club  - namely Karin Enke , Christa Luding-Rothenburger and Andrea Ehrig-Mitscherlich  - had dominated the world elite in the 1980s. They drove it u. a. 15 Olympic medals, 15 world championship titles and 37 world cup victories.

As a result of a DTSB resolution, according to which the winter sports sections of the sports clubs should be transferred to separate clubs,  the ESC Dresden was founded on October 28, 1989 - almost two weeks before the fall of the Berlin Wall . In this club the departments figure skating , speed skating and ice hockey were organized. The ESC began with the short track in 1991. After the figure skaters with the Dresdner Eislauf-Club e. V. founded their own club, the speed skaters and short trackers of the ESC Dresden took the same step and on April 6, 2001 set up their own ice skating club in Dresden.

Framework

Many EVD talents learn at the Sports High School in Dresden , where short track and speed skating are key sports .

There is a federal base for short track in Dresden . Initially, the EVD athletes trained in the Pieschener Allee ice rink , which was damaged during the Elbe floods in 2002 and demolished in 2008. From 2005 to 2007, the EnergieVerbund Arena was built, a modern training and competition facility, whose users include the Dresden Ice Skating Club and the Federal Short Track Training Center. The speed skaters train on a 250-meter asphalt track in the Ostragehege .

The EVD is at the national top in the short track and enjoys a correspondingly high reputation among the active players in this sport, which is why it attracts talented nationwide. The advantages over other clubs include daily training, financial support and a professional environment. In 2010, 14 licensed trainers worked at the EVD, eight of them with A license. Five trainers are employed full-time. As an important short track center in Germany, Dresden hosted the European Short Track Championships in 2010 and 2014 and has hosted short track World Cup races several times since 2008.

Many of the club's talents attend the sports school or the sports high school in Dresden , an elite school of sports whose main sports include both short track and speed skating. The association annually organizes the Elbe Cup in speed skating, which had its 20th edition at the beginning of 2013. The EVD receives organizational and financial support from Kufenflitzer e. V. - Friends of Speed ​​Skating Dresden 1999 .

Speed ​​skating

The club's most successful speed skater is Jens Boden , who won the bronze medal over 5000 meters at the 2002 Winter Olympics and was German champion over the same distance in 2003 . At EVD he was Björn Morgenstern's training partner , and in 2007 he ended his career. Frank Steiner came second at the German speed skating championships in 2009 in the 2 x 500 meters and 1000 meters as well as in the sprint all-around competition. Clemens Gawer is the German runner-up in 2016 over 10,000 meters .

Short track

EVD runner Bianca Walter won the gold medal with the relay at the Short Track European Championships 2010 in her home hall.
EVD talent Anna Seidel qualified as the only German short tracker for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.

As an EVD runner starting for Germany, Yvonne Kunze won the bronze medal in the relay at the 2002 European Short Track Championships , and she also took third place at the European Championships the following year in the individual over 3000 meters. At the Short Track European Championships in 2004 , Kunze again won the bronze medal with the relay, who u. a. Her Dresden club mate Christin Priebst also belonged. At the 2004 World Cup , Yvonne Kunze was eighth over 500 meters and seventh over 1000 meters. At the Short Track European Championships in 2005 she took two third places: in the individual over 1000 meters and again with the relay, together with her club mates Christin Priebst and Tina Grassow and Aika Klein from Rostock .

Robert Seifert was short track junior world champion in 2006 . At the EM 2006 Tyson Heung drove his first podium place when he was with the German relay, u. a. Dresden-born Sebastian Praus (Ice Skating Club Olympia Mainz) also belonged when third came across the finish line. In the 2006/07 season , Heung won the overall World Cup over 500 meters and was the first German to achieve such a success in the short track.

The Dresden runners played a decisive role in the double victory of the German relay teams at the 2007 European Short Track Championships . The women's quartet consisted of the three Dresden women Christin Priebst, Tina Grassow and Julia Riedel as well as Susanne Rudolph (EHC Klostersee Grafing). In the men's quartet, the EVD short trackers Robert Becker , Paul Herrmann and Tyson Heung started alongside Sebastian Praus, who was by choice Mainz .

At the European Short Track Championships in 2008 Heung ran over 500 meters as well as third place, as did the German women's relay, in which Priebst and Grassow from Dresden once again participated. At the EM in the following year , the women's relay achieved the silver medal, this time with the participation of the two EVD short trackers Christin Priebst and Bianca Walter . The 5000-meter relay of short track speed skating World Cup in 2009 ended Tyson Heung, Paul Herrmann and her colleagues in fourth. The German teams that competed in the 2007 , 2009 and 2010 Short Track Team World Championships were also dominated by Dresden short trackers .

The Dresden runners completed the 2010 European Championships in their home hall and barely missed the repetition of the 2007 European Championship double success. While the German women's relay with Rostock Aika Klein and EVD short trackers Julia Riedel, Christin Priebst and Bianca Walter won their competition, The men (Sebastian Praus / Mainz as well as the Dresdeners Tyson Heung, Paul Herrmann and Robert Seifert) were less than a tenth of a second to win. In the same line-up, they won the bronze medal in the 5000 meter relay at the 2010 World Cup . In the title fights in the following year, the German men's relay, for which this time instead of Sebastian Praus, Christoph Milz from Oberstdorf ran alongside the three EVD athletes, became vice world champion over 5000 meters .

At the EM 2011 , the German women's relay consisted for the first time exclusively of members of the Dresden ice skating club. Julia Riedel, Christin Priebst and Bianca Walter were there again, Elisa Lenke completed the quartet. In the end it came in fourth, and the same result the following year. At the EM 2013 , the German women's relay won u. a. with Bianca Walter the silver medal. The German men's relay, consisting of the three Dresdeners Becker, Herrmann and Seifert as well as Torsten Kröger from Rostock , came fourth in 2011. At the European Short Track Championships in 2012, she won the bronze medal in the same line-up. She repeated this result, but only with the participation of Herrmann and Seifert, at the EM 2014 , which took place for the second time in Dresden.

Anna Seidel (* 1998) was the second youngest member of the German squad at the 2014 Winter Olympics . She was the only short tracker from Germany to qualify for the games in which she improved the national record on the 1,500 meter distance that her club mate Christin Priebst had previously held. At the World Cup in Nagoya in December 2015 , Anna Seidel achieved second place over 500 meters, the best ever World Cup result for the German short track women.
