On his heat

"Felt pretty light and easy the first 1,000 (metres) at least, especially the first 250. I know it's quite a strong headwind.

"Being a rower isn't a synonym with being smart, but I knew I had to be smart to not burn too much fuel in the first half. So just sitting on an average pacing and keeping that light rowing and use the entire stretch instead of trying to make up ground the first 500 (metres)."

On his form in his first major race back since winning silver at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games:
"I'm way way behind. I wouldn't say it's on purpose, but it's what to expect from me right now. I'm not going to be in great race shape this year. Maybe I'm going to be as in good shape this year as I was in the European championships in 2020 in Poznan, when I also had quite a lot of vacation and just taking things down.

"This is going to be a transport year, just getting through, getting the new base layer, and then work on speed on top of that."

On his goals:
"Of course I'm aiming to do as well as possible in every competition - Europeans and world championship. Usually I benefit a lot from racing and this is my first race, except Hollandbeker in Amsterdam.

"I know the semifinal's going to be as tough as heck, so I'm just going to prepar as good as possible to be prepared and take it from there.

"I'm more aiming for a good performance than good results."
