Youth wins in Lyon
This is what world champions look like: Gold for skilled workers
Lower Austria's professional talents beat off competition from 89 countries at the WorldSkills championships and took home precious metal.
The joy is literally written all over their faces: "World champion in floristry - that just sounds crazy, like a dream," said Manuel Bender after he was able to claim victory. "It's an indescribable feeling - you don't often experience something like this. We actually prefer to work with concrete, but now we have gold in our hands," said the two newly crowned concrete construction world champions Christoph Kurz & Stefan Huber, who are now off to celebrate.

WKNÖ President Wolfgang Ecker is also pleased with the great young professionals: "Many of our companies are currently facing many challenges.

They competed in 41 individual and team trades.
