Steven is a rather calm person. Within the group of team members, the Dresden-born is a bit shy, however, in his private life as well as in his job he constantly seeks for new possibilities to have a rush of adrenalin. He dreams to be a soldier someday which is why he already practices being a paragliding pilot. Within the team, he is considered an upcoming youngster who will be heard of in the future, for Tokyo it will probably not be enough for now.
Back to overview or continue to the profile of coach Karsten Timm.
15 German scullers, 3 boat classes and only 7 seats available. The young scullers have a long and hard way ahead of them. Who will make it into which boat and fulfill his dream of the Olympic Games?
The rowing soul is delighted, because the athletes like to rowing most with their boats on glassy water and sunny weather. But also a training camp has its rules.
Oliver Zeidler, Stephan Krüger, Tim Ole Naske – those are three contenders for the seat in the single scull. Each of them has his very own strengths. In Erba they practice head-to-head.
In the end the coaches select the rowers for the boats. The double scull could become highly competitive. Only the most successful boat of the last years causes some worries.
The ergometer test is the starting point of the selection and well known in the world of rowing: 2,000 meters – human vs. machine.
