State coach Harald Blum expressed satisfaction with the athlete, who has only been rowing seriously since last fall.<br \/>\nIn the 13-year-old boys\u2019 division, the two RuS young rowers <strong>Jonas Neirich<\/strong> (7a) and <strong>Lasse Jacob<\/strong> (6a) returned to the Steinm\u00fchle with 8th and 9th-place finishes. In their very first race, both demonstrated great fighting spirit. <strong>Luca Hahn<\/strong> (6a) also showed great fighting spirit, finishing in 6th place, and <strong>Leon Vielhaben ( <\/strong>8c) narrowly missed the podium by just one second. Coxswain <strong>Viktor Zovko<\/strong> (7c) supported the team with his active participation.   <\/p>\n<p>At the final of the German Indoor Series in Essen-Kettwig, <strong>Lucas Sch\u00e4fer<\/strong>, our 20-year-old RuS athlete, became the German ergometer runner-up, thereby once again earning a spot on the 2016 Olympic team. He narrowly lost the final to Lars Wichert, the stroke of the German four, but his performance earned him the No. 1 spot among all lightweight rowers in Germany! <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/steinmuehle.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/1_LeonStromi_T.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4442\" src=\"https:\/\/steinmuehle.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/1_LeonStromi_T.jpg\" alt=\"1_Leon&#038;Stromi_T\" width=\"960\" height=\"1280\"><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/steinmuehle.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/2_Lucas_T.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4443\" src=\"https:\/\/steinmuehle.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/2_Lucas_T.jpg\" alt=\"2_Lucas_T\" width=\"1055\" height=\"708\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the German ergometer runner-up, Lucas Sch\u00e4fer is a strong candidate for the Olympic team The young RuS rowers achieved top results at the Ergocup Rhein-Neckar, a highly competitive event drawing a large field of elite rowers from five federal states: Leon Sauer (9c), who competed in the 15\/16-year-old junior division and hopes to qualify [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"give_campaign_id":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[86,85],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-43217","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-archive","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/steinmuehle.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43217","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/steinmuehle.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/steinmuehle.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/steinmuehle.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/steinmuehle.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43217"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/steinmuehle.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43217\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":48665,"href":"https:\/\/steinmuehle.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43217\/revisions\/48665"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/steinmuehle.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43217"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/steinmuehle.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43217"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/steinmuehle.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43217"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
