Congratulação!

Our congratulations to Mario Gyr and his team for their gold medal in the Lightweight Men's Four competition in Rio.

Although this victory was a foregone conclusion, it was still the toughest race that the team had ever faced. The Swiss rowers gave the competition no opportunity on the second 1000 meters, thereby relegating Denmark and France to second and third place respectively. After the European and World Rowing Cup titles, this gold means everything to the team leader Mario Gyr Mario Gyr : “It is the crowning moment of my rowing career.”

The See-Club Luzern See-Club Luzern was founded in 1881 and has 600 members. Besides being the largest rowing club in Switzerland, it is also one of the most successful and can look back on an illustrious past. The club captured a bronze back at the 1924 Olympics and a silver at the 1972 Olympics.

Bauberger AG has been supporting See-Club Luzern, where Mario Gyr trains, since 2014 and has sponsored, among other things, Montylift, a combination quad shell for sweep rowing and sculling.
