Biography

Rowers Gaston Giran and Alfred Plé reached the final as the third boat without having to qualify and thus with minimal effort. They were, however, also European Champions the same year and runner-up in 1924. Their boat represented the Société Nautique de la Marne club in Joinville-le-Pont. In his everyday life Giran worked as a clerk.
