Kathrin Marchand wins Para-rowing World Championship title
Para-rowers Kathrin Marchand and Valentin Luz have secured the gold medal in the PR3-mixed double sculls at the Rowing World Championships in Amsterdam. This victory allows the duo to successfully defend their world title from the previous year.
Marchand's achievement follows a historic period in her athletic career. In March, she competed as a cross-country skier at the Winter Paralympics in Italy, where she finished in fourth place. This made her the first athlete to have competed in the Olympic Games, the Summer Paralympics, and the Winter Paralympics.
Marchand noted that her time in winter sports provided a physical boost that aided her return to rowing. While she intends to continue participating in cross-country skiing, her primary focus remains on rowing competition.
