Norbert Lambing

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Norbert Lambing (born October 12, 1976 in Vienna ) is a former Austrian rower and has been the current sports director of the Austrian Rowing Association since May 2011 .

Career

He started his career in 1992 at the 1st Viennese rowing club LIA after returning from America, where he has lived with breaks since 1985. He found his way to rowing through his cousin, who took him to a training session in the rowing club. In 1993 he was the Austrian youth champion in eighth. In the following year he was the second fastest junior in Austria and qualified together with Richard Malousek for the junior world championships in rowing in Munich, where the duo reached the sixth place after a bad start.

After joining the Austrian Armed Forces in 1995 , sub-group sport, Lambing concentrated exclusively on rowing training. After an operation in the following winter / spring, after two months of training, he reached fifth place in the U23 individual eliminations of the World Cup team. Together with his new rowing partner Thomas Leopold , he qualified in a double scull for the Nations Cup in Groningen and was fifth behind the teams from Germany, the Netherlands, Poland and Argentina.

In 1996 he made contact with the athletes of the open age group and rowed with his new partner Raphael Hartl to the bronze medal at the Nations Cup in Hazewinkel . This duo stayed together until 2001 and achieved two more bronze medals in the two and four at world championships. 1998 was his most successful year when he won the overall World Cup and the bronze medal with Raphael Hartl, Andreas Nader and Horst Nussbaumer in the quadruple scull at the World Championships in Cologne. In 1999, a fifth place followed in the final after the quartet dominated the preliminary and the semifinals. The reason was a technical error that moved them from 2nd to 5th in the first quarter of the final.

In 2000 he again won the overall World Cup and came eleventh at the Olympic Games in Sydney. In total, Lambing won four individual World Cup regattas in the double scull between 1998 and 2000. After the disappointing eleventh place in Sydney, Lambing tried again in 2001 in the double scull with Raphael Hartl. Due to illness during the season, Lambing had to abandon his ambitions for a start at the 2001 World Championships. He started at World Cups until 2007 and then ended his active career as a rowing athlete.

Greatest successes

Doping case

In 2003 Lambing, like his teammates at the time, Helfried Jurtschitsch and Martin Kobau, tested positive for nandrolone in a doping test and was banned for six months. The ingestion of the contaminated food supplement “Mega Ribosyn 1100” was found to be the cause . The product has been tested several times as harmless by the Austrian doping laboratory Seibersdorf and the responsible FISA commission also determined Lambing's non-intentional goal to improve performance. The FISA commission found no negligence on his part, but in discussing the 6-month ban, it referred to the principle of athletes being responsible for their own bodies and the existing risk of an increase in dietary supplements, even with the greatest of precautionary measures. He started at World Cups until 2007 and then ended his active career as a rowing athlete.

Act as a trainer and manager

Lambing trained his girlfriend and future wife Sara Karlsson from 2007 , fifth in the world championship in the lightweight single in 2010, and in 2011 became sports coordinator of the ÖRV . Lambing is a state-certified rowing trainer, but does not do this because of his position at the ÖRV. Lambing has been the sports director of the Austrian Rowing Association for several years.

From 2006 to 2007 he enrolled in sports management at the University of Vienna , but put his studies on hold due to professional commitments. In 2008 he worked as an assistant manager at the Vienna Ice Hockey Club Vienna Capitals in the Austrian Prime League .
