    The document discusses the structure and success of German rowing, focusing on the men's eight (M8+) and men's quadruple sculls (M4x). It details how the German rowing system identifies and develops talent over many years through its training centers and clubs. For the M8+, the team aimed to find the most stable performers between 2009-2012 and improve speed and racing ability through competition. Athletes were selected based on pair testing results and spent years training together to build trust and stability. Through this constant development, the M8+ saw improvements in ergometer times and went undefeated, winning gold at the 2012 Olympics.
