Silver for Germany eight at European Championships in Szeged
The Germany eight won the silver medal at the European Championships in Szeged, with the Berlin Olaf Roggensack made a contribution to this success from the Rowing Club Tegel. Mayor Emine Demirbüken-Wegner and sports city councilor Harald Muschner congratulated the successful athlete and emphasized how proud they are on the team and its performance. The German team, led by Schlagmann Hannes Ocik, only had to give up the team from Great Britain and collected confidence for the Olympic Games in Paris. It almost even had been enough for the title when the DRV boat approached the British, but in the end there was a lack of half. Romania secured third place.
The success of the Germany eight at the European Championships is not only an impressive success for the team, but also confirmation of the excellent training work in the Rowing Club Tegel. This success could also have a positive impact on rowing in Berlin by bringing more attention and promotion for talented rowers such as Olaf Rygensack. The silver medal of the Germany Echter is also a motivation boost for the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris, since the team has shown that it is able to assert itself against strong competition.
The following table lists the placements of the first three teams in the European Championship in rowing in Szeged:
