Arnd Goldschmidt
Arnd Goldschmidt (born 9 June 1981 in Karlsruhe), is a German flatwater canoer and former world champion. A junior world champion in 1999 with Germany's K-4 1000 m crew, Goldschmidt was called up to the senior K-4 200 m boat which reached the world championship final in Seville, Spain, in 2002. However, he had to wait until the 2004 retirement of Olympic medalists Stefan Ulm and Mark Zabel to get his chance in Germany's ''flagship'' K-4 1000 m crew. His patience was rewarded with a gold medal at the 2005 ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships in Zagreb, Croatia. In 2006, a surprising failure in the German test event meant he was unable to defend his world title. His elder brother Björn Bjorn (English, Dutch), Björn (Swedish, Icelandic, Dutch, and German), Bjørn (Danish, Faroese and Norwegian), Beorn (Old English) or, rarely, Bjôrn, Biorn, or Latinized Biornus, Brum (Portuguese), is a Scandinavian male given name, or less oft ... is also a German international.

Canoe Racing
A canoe is a lightweight narrow water vessel, typically pointed at both ends and open on top, propelled by one or more seated or kneeling paddlers facing the direction of travel and using a single-bladed paddle. In British English, the term ''canoe'' can also refer to a kayak, while canoes are called Canadian or open canoes to distinguish them from kayaks. Canoes were developed by cultures all over the world, including some designed for use with sails or outriggers. Until the mid-19th century, the canoe was an important means of transport for exploration and trade, and in some places is still used as such, sometimes with the addition of an outboard motor. Where the canoe played a key role in history, such as the Northern United States, Canada, and New Zealand, it remains an important theme in popular culture. Canoes are now widely used for competition and pleasure, such as racing, whitewater, touring and camping, freestyle and general recreation. Canoeing has been p ...
