N.S.R.V. Phocas

The Nijmegen Student Rowing Club Phocas is a student rowing club from the Dutch city of Nijmegen. The association was founded on 1 May 1947 to revive nijmegen student life and was considered an indispensable attribute for the nijmegen student corps' aim to be included in the row of the recognized Dutch corpora. Phocas, or the association she was part of, was ultimately not included in this row. For this reason, her flag can often be found at the national competitions on the eighth flagpole. Since its inception, its members have rowed at regional, national level and occasionally at international level. In 2000, Nelleke Penninx won the silver medal at the Olympic Games in Sydney with the women's eight. Four years later, Annemarieke van Rumpt won bronze in Athens with the Women's Holland Eight and in 2008 silver in Beijing.
