Team member Fabian Baranski, who celebrated his birthday on Saturday, said that winning gold was the "best gift for me on my birthday! Silver last year at the Europeans, gold this year, it's good progress, we hope for the same result at the World Champs. We learnt from the heat, and we're glad we had a better race in the final," as quoted by the organisers.
The white-and-reds, world champions in this competition, reached the final by winning the repechage with over four seconds advantage over second-placed Ukraine.
