A greeting from Annamarie Phelps, OLY President, European Rowing
Annamarie Phelps OLY
President, European Rowing
Welcome to Krefeld! European Rowing is thrilled to be back in Germany for the 2023 European Rowing Under 23 Championships.
This event brings the best under-23 athletes from our continent to western Germany for competitive and compellingracing, showcasing our future stars. Itis the highpoint of the season for many competitors and I am particularly pleased to welcome all of the teams who have been preparing for this competition over the past weeks and months.
The regatta course on the Elfrather See in Krefeld has proved to be a highly successful regatta venue in the past and one of Germany’s top rowing courses. It is also the 140th anniversary of the Crefelder Rowing Club this year and we are more than happy to be bringing Europe’s young rowing elite here to join the celebrations.
I would especially like to thank the organising committee and the large number of volunteers without whom this event would not be possible and to welcome the stars of the show, our athletes, their coaches, support staff and, of course, the fans and supporters to Krefeld and its environs for a great weekend of racing.
Viel Glück; here’s to a wonderful event!
Annamarie Phelps OLY
