In 2019 Burkhard Reuhl retired from leading WSSA Germany and now Ilona Reuhl is retiring from Speed Stacks Germany. Ilona and Burkhard started Speed Stacks/WSSA Germany back in 2004 as our first international distributors. Through the years they have made an incredible team, growing this sport in Germany and helping many of our current international reps start Sport Stacking in their countries. Ilona and Burkhard have been the 'Pioneers' of Sport Stacking for all of Europe. Their kindness and care for stackers, parents, coaches and others in their community has been a model for many to follow. Their influence and passion has shaped several governing decisions by the WSSA that have forever changed our sport. Their legacy, impact and contributions made to Sport Stacking is truly remarkable and unparalleled. On behalf of the WSSA and Speed Stacks, we wish you both many happy and prosperous years in retirement. Thank you Ilona and thank you Burkhard for all that you have so graciously contributed to our sport and to our communities in the past 20+ years!
WSSA Germany will continue under the leadership of Timo Bohm. Timo and his team have done a remarkable job in promoting WSSA events in Germany and growing the sport. With Ilona's retirement, Speed Stacks is actively seeking new representation in Germany. The German market is very strong and we see tremendous opportunity for the next representative. We are working closely with Ilona in this selection process to ensure a good transition is made. If you are interested in applying to be the next Speed Stacks Germany representative, please inquire at info@speedstacks.com.
