Among the newly announced athletes is the national rowing team, comprising 26 rowers: six women and 20 men, including three substitutes.
Women’s Rowing Team
The women’s team includes Alexandra Föster (single sculls W1x), and a formidable quadruple sculls W4x lineup featuring Pia Greiten, Leonie Menzel, Tabea Schendekehl, and Maren Völz.
Men’s Rowing Team
The men’s contingent is led by single sculler Oliver Zeidler, followed by Jonas Gelsen and Marc Weber in the double sculls M2x. The quadruple sculls M4x has Max Appel, Anton Finger, Tim Ole Naske, Julius Rommelmann, and Moritz Wolff. The pair M2- includes Julius Christ and Sönke Kruse.

Substitutes traveling to Paris are Frauke Hundeling and Jasper Angl. Additionally, stand-by substitutes Lisa Gutfleisch, Theis Hagemeister, and Felix Heinrich are ready to step in if necessary.
