Frans Göbel won the world championship in the lightweight single scull twice and he did it with an incredible display of technical superiority. I was very fortunate that my coaches understood Frans' superiority. At the time, my national team coach, Harry Mahon, was known for coaching crews that effortlessly glided over the water. Martin Cross, author of Olympic Obsession, used described Harry's crews as "ghosting along". When I read those words it gave me chills. Few are the crews that display such superiority. Frans' and Harry's technique is the reason why I won Olympic medals and am one of the very few men to have rowed in the six thirties for 2000 meters.
Enjoy this clip of Frans and the others that you will discover about him.
