From February 6th to February 16th, 2022, I had the privilege of accompanying and providing medical care to the German Rowing National Team during their training camp in Lago Azul. This location was familiar to me from previous training camps. This time, the team consisted of the Men's Sweep and the Men's Eight, as well as the Men's Scull. Rowers differentiate between "lightweight" and "heavyweight" teams.
After more than 30 years, I finally had the opportunity to row in a racing single scull again. Thanks to the kind support received, everything went smoothly for me and the boat. This experience further heightened my admiration for the achievements of rowing athletes. Successful rowing in a single scull requires immense physical and mental strength. The daily training sessions and competitions pose a significant challenge for the athletes. It was a great honor for me to be part of it and to support the national team.
