A German feast at the junior champs

It was good to be German at the 2010 World Rowing Junior Championships that have just finished in Racice, Czech Republic. German rowers managed to be in 12 of the 13 finals. German supporters were able to watch rowers from their country stand on the medals podium for 10 of those 12 events. The supporters were able to watch and cheer for a total of 36 athletes who had medals put around their necks. And the Germans got to listen to their national anthem a full five times as five of the crews won gold medals. Germany came first in both the men’s and women’s single with Felix Bach winning the title for the second year in a row in the men’s single and Judith Sievers winning it for the women in her first year racing in the single. The German’s also did a double header in the quad. Winning the men’s and women’s event meant the German national anthem played twice in a row. Then Germany topped off their gold medal bonanza with a win in the men’s double. THE REST OF THE STORY HERE:www.worlrowing.com
