Paavo Schewe: From canoeing to row-a Neubrandenburg on the World Cup course!

Neubrandenburg, Deutschland - Today there is a very special day for the young athlete Paavo Schewe from Neubrandenburg. At the age of only 19, he decided to take a crucial step in his sporting career. Originally, Schewe was firmly anchored in canal racing, but after a short while of the supervision and a great advice from his trainer from SC Neubrandenburg, he turned to rowing. His new coach, Karsten Timm in Rostock, was immediately impressed by Schewes Talent and was able to quickly win him for rowing. As the Nordkurier again, Schewe once again proves that changes in sport can also make new flights

ready for the U23 World Cup

The anticipation for the U23 Ruder World Championship in Poznan, Poland, is great because it takes place from July 23 to 27. This championship is an outstanding opportunity for young athletes. The U23 World Championships have been held by the World Rudder Association since 2005 and are the only young class in the adult area, as can be found on wikipedia . In this class, athletes who are not older than 22 years old in the current calendar year can fight the title and at the same time take the chance to qualify for the open age group.

Schewe can already look back on some successes. Last year he took part in the Kanu European Championship in Bratislava and won two silver medals in two and in the four at the German U23 championships. These successes show that he not only has talent, but also the unconditional will to prove himself in new sport.

an intensive training and future plans

To prepare for the world championship optimally, Paavo Schewe trains in the training camp of the Ratzeburg Rolder Academy. His focus is clearly on competitive sports, and his big dream is to take part in the Olympic Games. Despite the intensive training plans, he has to take an oral Abitur examination in Neubrandenburg shortly before the World Cup. This testifies to his discipline and the will to reconcile sport and education.

After the World Cup, Schewe plans to move to Rostock and start studying technology. He certainly did not make the decision for this new direction easy, but with role models like Max John, a member of the Germany eight, he has an excellent approach to helping him to gain a foothold in rowing. These changes are not unusual in sports and show how complex the career paths of athletes can be.

The selection and preparation of the team members of the U23 national team of the German Rowing Association is an exciting matter. Only the best get through. Your success in the annual performance checks will be crucial to be nominated in the various boat classes-from men's and women's skulls to lightweight classes-such as the drv-informations clarify.

On July 5, 2025, for Paavo Schewe, the time has finally come: a new phase of life begins, which brings with it both ambitious goals and the possibility of expanding your own limits in sport. We keep our fingers crossed for him and are excited to see what success this new trip will bring!
