How Oliver Zeidler achieves his sporting goals with corratec bikes.
An Olympic champion relies on corratec
After his impressive performance at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, where he won the gold medal in the single scull, Oliver Zeidler is looking forward to the upcoming winter season - with the first-class support of corratec. Oliver comes from a prestigious rowing family, and both his grandfather Hans and his father Heino, who has accompanied him as a coach since the start of his career, were overjoyed at his success. "My dad was wiping tears from his eyes at the side of the course," says Oliver. "It was a complete success for my grandfather, almost 52 years after his own successes."
The emotional award ceremony remains unforgettable for Oliver: "I had to fight hard not to cry with joy." Oliver is now turning his attention to winter training and the new opportunities that the high-quality bikes from corratec offer him. "Innovation and quality are extremely important to me," he emphasizes. "With corratec, I can concentrate 100% on my performance."
The importance of winter training for rowers
For Oliver, cycling is an essential addition to his training program as a rower. "In the winter months, it's crucial to maintain my endurance and prepare for the coming season. Cycling is the ideal solution for me," he explains.
"In winter, I often sit on my racing bike or ergometer and analyze my performance figures. Good music is part of it, but I prefer to focus on wattage and speed rather than movies that might distract me."
Technical innovations of corratec bikes
Corratec is known for its innovative and high-quality bikes, which have been specially developed for performance-oriented athletes. The brand attaches great importance to technological advances that enable optimum performance.
For Oliver Zeidler, these innovations are essential for achieving his sporting goals. "With corratec bikes, I can concentrate fully on my performance without having to compromise on quality or technology."
Special models: CCT EVO and Allroad C1 gravel bike
Oliver is particularly enthusiastic about his new CCT EVO and the Allroad C1 gravel bike. "These models offer me the perfect combination of speed, stability and comfort," he explains.
With these bikes, Oliver can enjoy his training sessions around Lake Geneva to the full. They are not only ideal for road races, but also for rough terrain.
Why cycling is the perfect complement
For Oliver Zeidler, cycling is the perfect complement to his rowing training. "It helps me to improve my endurance without putting too much strain on my joints," he says.
In addition, cycling offers a welcome change of pace and allows him to explore new environments while achieving his fitness goals. "With corratec by my side, I'm well equipped for a successful winter season - ready to continue defending my gold medal and reach new heights in rowing."
