Magdalena Lobnig: Return to the shallow water in front of the Lenny Peters Cup!

The Austrian rudderin Magdalena Lobnig is again an impressive sign in the rowing world! After her sensational bronze medal at the Olympic Games in Tokyo 2021, she specializes in coastal rows. But now there is an exciting turn: Lobnig returns to the shallow water for the first race of the year, the Lenny Peters Cup. This return is expected with great excitement, especially since they compete for the “Rest of the World” team to compete against the national team of the United States, such as krone.at reported.

The Lenny Peters Cup takes place on April 12th in the USA and marks another highlight in its impressive career. Sadically, it will only be a “short intermezzo”, explains the 34-year-old. "I am very pleased that they approached me. But the short distances are more." In several categories - among other things in one and in the double four - she will give everything to assert herself against the competition. However, her goal remains the coastal rowing, where she would like to compete in the Beach Sprint at the Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 2028. "The sea appeals to me much more," she says in her element, like Prlog reported.

Magdalena Lobnig, who recently trained in Sabaudia (Italy), admits that after ten kilometers she almost wanted to get out in the flat water boat, but ultimately mastered the challenge. Her successes are impressive: in addition to the Olympic bronze, she also won gold in coastal rows at the World Cup. The pressure is high, but lobnig remains optimistic and looks forward to the upcoming race with anticipation. It will be exciting to see how she will hit the US athletes!
