Arndt to change teams

By Susan Westemeyer

Judith Arndt, 2004 world champion, will leave Team Nürnberger Versicherung at the end of the season. She needs new challenges, she said in an interview with dpa, the German press agency. She did not say where she would go to, but it is thought that she will change to a team in the Netherlands or the US, specifically the T-Mobile women's team.

"It has not yet been totally settled, where I will change to," she said. "That will be decided in the next few days. Motivation is an important part of sport to me. I have been with Equipe Nürnberger for three years now and in the end everything was repeating itself. It is time for me to do something else. Petra Rossner will definitely not be on the same team with me in the coming season. Her decision has nothing to do with my decision."
