GOLD FOR THE GERMAN MEN’S EIGHTH AT THE EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS

WILOVE TEAM D8: WITH LAST WEEKEND'S VICTORY, TEAM GERMAN MEN’S EIGHT IN GLASGOW IS CROWNED EUROPEAN CHAMPION FOR THE SIXTH TIME IN A ROW.

A tight final race that was ultimately dominated by the German team. From the 1000 meter mark onwards, the German Men’s Eight could distinguish itself from the competition. At the right time the team around the coxswain Martin Sauer had increased the pressure. Just a boat length ahead secured the victory in front of the Dutch and the Romanian team.

The Coxless Four won the rowing championship in the B final and the Coxless Two took second place. Since 2010, Wilo has been the main sponsor of the German Men’s Eight and extended the engagement to all boats in 2015. Since then, the Coxless Two and Coxless Four have also been part of the Wilo fleet.

As true team players, the shared values of efficiency, emotion, cohesion and professionalism form the basis of a successful cooperation between the Dortmund-based company Wilo and the Team German Men’s Eight, both on the water and on land.
