About Janik:

What is your reason for your course choice?

I love the way physics approaches questions from nature in an analytical way.

When, where and why did you start rowing? And what do you love about the sport?

2022 in Cambridge at my college (Lady Margaret Boat Club). I have long had a passion for endurance sports and spent years running and cycling, but eventhough these sports are very dear to me, I often found they lack a strong team element. This is what led me to rowing: the ultimate combination of endurance and team work.

What was your first rowing club and coach?

Pere Gisbert at Lady Margaret Boat Club

What sport did you prioritise growing up?

Running, volleyball

What is your favourite non-academic book?

To whom the bell tolls

What is your dream job? Or what do you aspire to do once you complete your studies?

Lead a tech company
