During the European Rowing Championships in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, Linn van Aanholt, a student at Erasmus School of Economics, showed that she belongs to the European top. On Saturday 31 May, she and her teammates won the gold medal in the women's coxless four – a great achievement that combined strength, flexibility and perfect teamwork.
As if that wasn't impressive enough, Linn, who is completing her master's specialisation Economics of Sustainability, got back in the boat a day later, this time with the women's eight. In an exciting race against the strongest rowing teams in Europe, TeamNL managed to grab silver – a wonderful reward for a weekend full of dedication and top sports mentality.
The Dutch team, with several young talents such as Linn, showed its best side and returned home with a nice medal harvest.
