In the men's K-2 500m finals of the "Good Luck Beijing" 2007 Canoe/Kayak Flatwater Open held today, Ronald Rauhe/Tim Wieskotter of Germany came home first to win the title. As Olympic gold medalists in 2004 and double world champions in 2006 and 2007, they were very excited about their win: "The racing is over and we'll have a good celebration tonight." When asked what had impressed them in Beijing, they were quick to reply, "We all like the diced chicken with hot pepper here very much."

They also liked the environment around the Shunyi Olympic Rowing-Canoeing Park. "Competing here is fun," they added.
