Greek Olympic team member Stefanos Duskos won rowing gold at the Tokyo Olympics.
At the Sea Forest Waterway Arena in Odaiba, Japan, Stefanos Duscos won the final race in men’s rowing at a distance of 2000 meters. His time was 6: 40.45, which is 1.21 seconds less than it took second-place Norwegian Kjetil Borsh. The bronze medal went to Damir Martin from Croatia (6: 42.58).
24-year-old Stefanos 5 years ago, at the Olympic Games in Rio, took sixth place. In Tokyo, he achieved the greatest success of his career. In the final, Duscos was initially fourth, but in the middle of the track he stepped forward and did not give up the leader’s place to anyone until the very finish.
In addition, Duscos set a new world record – 6 minutes and 40.45 seconds. The previous one, which belonged to New Zealander Maha Drysdale (6: 41.34), was beaten by almost a second.
