Water and Boat Sports

Melvin Twellaar is a Dutch rower, born on 23 December 1996, who has competed at the Olympic Games and holds a world title in the men's double sculls. He rows in partnership with Stef Broenink, and the pair won the silver medal in the double sculls at the 2020 Summer Olympics. They were still racing together in that boat when they took the gold medal at the 2023 World Rowing Championships, which made him a world champion. The English Wikipedia article about him is short and rests on its lead, so this entry records his nationality, birth date, Olympic result and world title, and leaves a fuller career narrative to later research.
