Turkish Rowing Team Sets Sights on 2024 Paris Olympics and European Championship

The Turkish national rowing team is fervently training at Lake Koycegiz, a destination known for its optimal conditions, with their eyes set on the impending 2024 Paris Olympics. Under the strategic guidance of coach Nebojsa Ilic, the team is harnessing the momentum garnered from victorious performances in the recent season, to secure their berth at the global event, while also aspiring to reach the A final.

Ambitious Targets

Coach Ilic, while emphasizing the team’s ambitions, has set his sights on victory at the European Under-23 Rowing Championship slated to be held in Edirne in September 2024. This win would not only add another feather to the team’s cap but would also significantly bolster Turkey’s standing in the international rowing community.

Strategic Focus on Paris Olympics

Aligning with Ilic’s vision, national rowing team coach Sonat Dogan, amplifies the team’s strategic focus on the Paris Olympics. The goal is twofold: to secure the Olympic quota and to excel in the finals. The European Under-23 Rowing Championship, especially significant as it is along the Meric River in Turkey, offers an additional platform for the team to demonstrate their rowing prowess.

Training at Lake Koycegiz

The winter training camp at Lake Koycegiz, favored for its ideal conditions, also beckons teams from other countries, reinforcing its international repute as a premier training destination. With an unwavering determination, the Turkish team aims to represent their nation with multiple teams at the Paris Olympics. The final selection will be the outcome of the quota races in Lausanne, scheduled for the third week of May.
