Gold in Harmony – Team Spirit Makes the Difference

A story of precision, trust, and mental strength – how a canoeing duo won Olympic gold and proved that success is no solo race.

Jan Vandrey is an Olympic champion in sprint canoeing. In 2016, he claimed a sensational gold medal in Rio with his teammate Sebastian Brendel, having initially only made it into the team as a substitute. Their victory in the double canoe over 1,000 metres was the result of perfect synchronisation, absolute reliability – and a shared determination to exceed their own limits.

His success story shows that you should never give up too early or abandon your biggest dreams. "Achieving goals (after all)" – that’s his motto, in both sport and business.
