description: "Frits Evert Eijken was a Dutch rower. He competed at the 1920 Summer Olympics in the single sculls, but failed to reach the final. In 1921, Eijken won the Diamond Challenge Sculls at Henley Royal Regatta beating Jack Beresford in the final. Following Eijken's victory, Janus Ooms passed on to him the \"Golden Belt\" he was awarded in 1892. Eijken, in turn, passed it on to the next Dutch Diamonds winner Bert Gunther in 1929."
