Katerina Nikolaidou

Katerina Nikolaidou won the lightweight women's single sculls final on Sunday at the 2013 European Rowing Championships held in Seville, Spain.

The Greek rower beat Austria's Michaela Taupe-Traer (who was expected to hold the lead but placed second) with a timing of 8:32.92. Marie-Anne Frenken of the Netherlands placed third.

According to the World Rowing Federation (FISA), Nikolaidou had to fight more seasoned competition and "tough head-wind conditions" but remained in control. "In the final sprint (she) upped her stroke rate to 34 in these tough head-wind conditions. Taupe-Traer had no reply. Nikolaidou had become the European Champion", it said.

The Championship was held May 31 to June 2.
