Gold Medal and Innovation: Olympic Champion Relies on corratec for the Training of the Future!

After his impressive performance at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, where he claimed gold in the single sculls, Oliver Zeidler is looking forward to the upcoming winter season—with top-tier support from corratec. Coming from a prestigious rowing family, both his grandfather Hans and his father Heino, who has been his coach from the very beginning of his career, were overjoyed by his success. "My dad wiped tears from his eyes at the finish line," Oliver recalls. "For my grandfather, it was a huge moment, almost 52 years after his own achievements." The emotional medal ceremony remains unforgettable for Oliver: "I had to fight hard not to cry from joy."

Now, Oliver is setting his sights on winter training and the new opportunities provided by corratec’s high-quality bikes. "Innovation and quality are extremely important to me," he emphasizes. "With corratec, I can fully focus on my performance." He is particularly excited about his new CCT EVO and the Allroad C1 gravel bike, which he will use to enjoy training sessions around Lake Geneva with full commitment and enthusiasm. But what happens when the weather doesn’t cooperate? For Oliver, cycling is an essential part of his rowing training regimen. "During the winter months, maintaining my endurance and preparing for the upcoming season is crucial. Cycling is the perfect solution for me," he explains. "In winter, I often ride my road bike or train on the ergometer, analyzing my performance data. Good music is a must, but I prefer focusing on wattage and speed rather than watching movies that could distract me."

With corratec by his side, Oliver Zeidler is fully equipped for a successful winter season—ready to defend his gold medal and reach new heights in the world of rowing.
