Jana Sorgers Biography

Jana Sorgers is one of the most popular and richest Rower who was born on August 4, 1967 in Neubrandenburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. Sorgers was born in 1967 in Neubrandenburg, Mecklenburg- Vorpommern, which at the time belonged to East Germany. She attended Pragsdorf school, where she was selected for the rowing program. Sorgers began her rowing career as a sculler. Dynamo Neubrandenburg–Mitte was her first club. In 1981, she moved to SC Dynamo Berlin. She won the 1982 national junior quad scull championships. At the 1983 Spartakiad, she won gold in double scull with Sybille Schmidt. This was her first significant success. She was the junior world champion in coxed quad scull with Judith Zeidler at the 1984 World Rowing Junior Championships, Jonkoping, Sweden. She was a junior world champion in double scull with Claudia Kruger, with whom she had been rowing since the beginning. They won the final in Brandenburg an der Havel in East Germany at the 1985 World Rowing Junior Championships.

In January 1988, Sorgers received the title of “Honored Masters of Sports”. The 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, Korea saw the dominance of East German women in rowing, winning five out six events. Along with Kerstin Forster (nee Pieloth), Kristina Munt, and Beate Schramm, Sorgers won gold in the quad scull. Only two of the 23 female rowers won a medal, the coxless couple came fourth. Sorgers received a Patriotic Order of Merit (first class) in November

1988. This was her second award.

After the reunification, Sorgers won four national titles in quad scull: in 1991, 1994, 1995, and 1996.

The 1991 rowing season started with a national regatta for the small boat classes in Wedau where Sorgers competed in single scull and was beaten into second place by Schramm. A month later, an international regatta was held at the same venue where Sorgers teamed up with Sybille Schmidt in the double scull; they won their boat class by a margin of almost 8 seconds. The intention of the rowing officials had always been for Sorgers and Schmidt to be part of a quad scull for 1991 and after further qualification races, the 1990 team was reassembled, with Jana Thieme nearly having replaced Krüger. At the 1991 World Rowing Championships in Vienna, Austria, the quad scullers defended their world championship title.

Sorgers was awarded her first national title in the quad scull in 1986 at the GDR. She was the 1988 national champion in the quad scull and double scull. She retained her double scull title in 1989. She won her last East German title in 1990 with the quad-scull.
