Rehearsal for “Knight World Cup” – You cross swords in heavy armor

Date:

A Styrian dentist in knight’s armor: top athlete Wolfgang Laserer travels to Mexico for the World Medieval Martial Arts Championships, which will take the breath away of 30,000 spectators on May 2. The “Krone” was present for the tough training at the Altaussee. First things first: the competition is anything but a joust for young-at-heart adults…

The coat of mail rattles, the swords clink, the knights breathe quickly. A hard blow to the helmet is followed by a quick blow to the shoulder. Although the spring sun brings mild temperatures and the wind blowing across the crystal-clear lake cools, the men sweat as they remove their helmets and lay down their weapons. Both are still alive and uninjured. No, the location of the duel is not a location on a crusade to the Holy Land, but Altaussee at the foot of the Loser. We do not write a year in the 11th or 12th century, but 2024.
