Martin Müller-Falcke

Martin Müller-Falcke (born April 26, 1972 in Rinteln ) is a former German rower . His greatest success was fourth place in the lightweight four-man without a helmsman at the 2003 World Championships.

In 1999 Müller-Falcke became German champion in the lightweight single and after a first World Cup start he represented Germany in this boat class at the World Championships in St. Catherines . There he finished fifth in the final. The following year, Müller-Falcke was a member of the German lightweight double scull , which reached fourth place at the World Championships in Zagreb .

After he had only been used in a World Cup in a quadruple scull in 2001, Müller-Falcke switched to belt rowing for the 2002 season. After a fifth and a fourth place at the World Championships in 2002 and 2003, he was part of the German Olympic team for the Olympic Games in Athens . There he started together with Axel Schuster , Stefan Locher and Andreas Bech in an easy four without a helmsman. With a strong run-up, in which the team almost set the German record in this boat class, the team qualified for the semifinals. However, the team did not get into the race there and missed the finals. The B final was also disappointing, with the four-man losing to a number of European teams that they had always defeated in the World Cup. Overall, the team with Müller-Falcke took eleventh place.

After the Olympic Games, Müller-Falcke, who started for the Bochum rowing club in 1920 , ended his career.
