Herber dampers at the Rower World Cup in Shanghai: The German men’s eight missed the targeted finale after a disappointing performance. The women meanwhile caused a positive surprise and moved into the final run.
In the heavily occupied lead with the Olympic second of the Netherlands and the bronze medalists from Paris from the USA, it was only third for Germany’s men. Since the third and fourth-placed teams achieved a better time in the other preliminary, the team around Schlagmann Theis Hagemeister and helmsman Jonas Wiesen must be satisfied with the B final on Saturday.
World Cup victory in Lucerne deceptive
After fourth place at the Olympic Games, the Germany eight had recently seen himself on the right track under the new coach Mark Emke and even spent the victory in the preliminary. The World Cup victory in Lucerne, where the USA was left behind, had caused additional self -confidence – but now the disappointment followed.
“This is a good challenge with largely unknown opponents. Canada and the USA are new, the Netherlands are put together again. We look forward to the run”Rower had said Jonas Wiesen before. And Emke had asked for: “Everyone is healthy, everyone is hot. Now it is important, now they want to perform. The goal is to win the lead.” Typical case of fallacy.
Success for respect for women
The women went much better. The German eighth only had to give up Great Britain in his run -up and, among other things, left the United States behind. Knocking Nora Peuser led the boat a little surprisingly to the final on Saturday (9.05 a.m.).
