And both teams were able to hold their own against the strong competition from a total of 86 teams.
The men's four qualified for the A final in the amateur class and ended up winning the silver medal!
The regatta is organized by the “Living with Cancer” foundation together with the Hubertus Wald Tumor Center at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf. The foundation promotes therapy-supporting projects of a sporting and cultural nature, as current studies show that these can reduce the stress caused by illness and therapy in people affected by cancer and thus have a positive effect on the course of the disease.
The charity regatta takes place annually at different locations throughout Germany and is organized in cooperation with local rowing clubs and oncological therapy facilities.
In addition to the sporting challenge, the focus is on having fun and making an active contribution to the fight against cancer.
Rowing against Cancer is one of the largest mass sports events in Germany.
