2022 World Footbag Championships – Net Videos

As I don’t travel to footbag tournaments to play anymore, I didn’t go to Krakow to film either. You’ll find the information thatI could gather for this event that seemed really fun.
Here’s a quick recap

41th IFPA WORLD FOOTBAG CHAMPIONSHIPS
July 27-31, 2022
Krakow, Poland

Women singles net finals

Competitors:
Maude Landreville from Montréal, Québec, Canada – Club Aki Québec vs Lena Mlakar from Kranj, Slovenia – Club Footbag Kranj

Format Best of 5 games to 15 points, rally scoring

As you can see from the scores, this match was a true battle. Featuring two former World Champions, the title had to be earned in sweat.

Landreville wins: 15-9, 9-15, 16-14, 14-16, 15-9

Open singles net finals

Competitors:
Walt Houston, Memphis, USA – Club Memphis Footworks vs
Tuomas Kärki, Helsinki, Finland – Club Footbag Finland.

Format Best of 5 games to 15 points, rally scoring

Walt and Tuomas had already met quite a few times and this match was highly awaited. Unfortunately, Tuomas had to retire after winning the first set, due to injury.

Houston wins 13-15, 12-10 Forfait

Women doubles net finals

Competitors:
Maude Landreville from Montreal, Canada – Club Aki Québec + Lena Mlakar from Kranj, Slovenia – Club Footbag Kranj vs Kerstin Anhuth, Frankfurt, Ger, Club Footbag Frankfurt E.V. + Audrey Tumelin from Paris, France – Club RNH

Format Best of 5 games to 15 points, rally scoring

This was a slow year in terms of female competitors at Worlds. Only 3 teams were competing in the Women’s doubles. I couldn’t find any video of that match so I’ll guess that, according to the scores, it was a fairly easy win for Maude and Lena.

Landreville and Mlakar win 15-13, 15-6, 15-10

Mixed doubles net finals

Competitors:
Florian Goetze + Kerstin Adineh from Frankfurt Germany – Club Frankfurt Footbag vs Luc Legault from Montreal, Canada – Club Aki Québec + Lena Mlakar from Kranj, Slovenia – Club Footbag Kranj

Format Best of 5 games to 15 points, rally scoring

My teammate, Luc Legault from Aki Québec, manages to make it to the finals pretty often in the mixed doubles but had yet to score a victory. This time again, he would have to wait as the many titles holders from Germany wouldn’t cooperate with his goal in what seems to have been a tight match.

Frankfurt Footbag wins it by 18-16, 13-15, 15-13, 15-8

Open doubles net finals

Competitors:
Florian Goetze from Frankfurt Germany – Club Frankfurt Footbag + Tuomas Kärki, Helsinki, Finland – Club Footbag Finland vs Walt Houston and Benjamin Alston, Memphis, USA – Club Memphis Footworks

Format Best of 5 games to 15 points, rally scoring

A long a grueling match saw the Europeans manage a win in 5 sets. After winning the 2 first sets, the German-Finnish team lost the next 2 to force a fifth set battle, in which they prevailed easily.

Frankfurt + Helsinki for the win: 15-12, 15-10, 12-15, 10-15, 15-7
