Overview
- The German canoe team won two golds and a bronze on Friday at the World Championships in Poznan, with the men's K4 reclaiming the 500m world title in 1:23.95 and the women's K4 taking bronze by two hundredths of a second.
- Carlotta Loske and Maike Jakob delivered an unexpected victory in the women's C2 in Poznan, taking the first-ever German world gold in that canoe class.
- At the Rowing World Championships on Amsterdam’s Bosbaan, Kathrin Marchand and Valentin Luz defended their PR3 mixed-double world title in 7:03.97 after a weather delay disrupted finals.
- The German men's quadruple scull took silver in Amsterdam, finishing narrowly behind Italy and confirming depth across Olympic boat classes.
- Together these results show both a return to form for Paris 2024 Olympic champions in the K4 and new talent rising in women's canoe, while Marchand’s cross-season comeback underscores athlete versatility as Germany builds toward 2028.
