"My father was a rower so after I had tried a lot of sports and didn't really like any of them, he suggested I try rowing. At first I didn't like it. I thought it was really boring doing the same thing all the time. But a month or two after I got into the boat for the first time, I saw so many great things. The thing that keeps me going is that when I am in the boat I feel free. I love to hear the boat gliding on the water." (worldrowing.com, 01 May 2019)
