The Berliner Ruder Club, one of the most prestigious rowing clubs in Germany, founded in 1876 and with more than 700 athletes, elected the High Performance Center of Pocinho for the second consecutive year of training for its athletes, increasing for 22 the number of athletes who trained for two weeks in this center.
The coach of the team, Victor Jacob, believes that Pocinho's HSPC has excellent conditions for rowing, and for this reason "I brought more athletes to Vila Nova de Foz Côa than the previous year because I want my athletes to train in high-quality centers and to make their sporting income profitable. For this reason, next year we will mobilize more athletes to train in this high-performance center."
