She resigned after the death of her coach: Jeannine Gmelin is making a comeback in top sport

class=”sc-29f61514-0 dXbCZE”>

Jeannine Gmelin returns to competitive sports.

Jeannine Gmelin wants to know again. The native Zuricher, who resigned at the beginning of this year, is making her comeback with the aim of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.

Gmelin’s original plan included participating in the games in the French capital as the final highlight of his career. The unexpected death of her trainer and partner Robin Dowell made her reconsider her approach. The Englishman, who died last December during training at the age of 40, was not only coach of the Zurich Oberlander, but also “a friend, a great person and the reason I became the athlete that I am”.

Without Dowell by her side, Gmelin lost the motivation for top sport. After the blow of fate, she was no longer willing to subordinate everything to rowing. Now Gmelin reversed her decision. She said in a statement that the decision to return had been made for months. (SDA/dti)
