Arnd Goldschmidt
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 four-man kayak (K4) 1000m crew, Goldschmidt was called up to the senior K4 200m boat which reached the world championship final in Seville, Spain, in 2002. However he had to wait until the 2004 retirement of Olympic medallists Stefan Ulm and Mark Zabel to get his chance in Germany's flagship K4 1000m crew.
His patience was rewarded with a gold medal at the 2005 Flatwater Racing 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 is also a German international. Both are members of the Rheinbrüder Karlsruhe club.
