<div class="entry-content"> <p>When South Africa’s national team needed altitude training, they went to Lesotho. There they discovered stunning lakes and dams. This was one of the reasons that recently the Lesotho Rowing Federation was formed.</p> <p>Lesotho is a high-altitude country surrounded by South Africa and helping with the development of rowing in the kingdom is South Africa’s Olympic Champion rower Sizwe Ndlovu.</p> <p>“I am advising the Lesotho Rowing Federation on technical aspects of the sport as well as ensuring the development of the federation,” says Ndlovu. “Currently we have about 11 coaches and five of them are athletes as well.”</p> <p>The Lesotho National Olympic Committee (NOC) and World Rowing has been working with local leaders to help establish the federation. World Rowing has helped in the donation of ergometers to get activities started and along with Ndlovu, Mpumi Geza have been acting as World Rowing Coach Educators.</p> <figure id="attachment_32543" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-32543" style="width: 580px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" class="wp-image-32543 size-large" src="https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/04181036/120926_12-LG-HD-1024x576.jpg" alt="Lawrence Brittain (b), Jonathan Smith, Vi_" width="580" height="326" srcset="https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/04181036/120926_12-LG-HD-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/04181036/120926_12-LG-HD-300x169.jpg 300w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/04181036/120926_12-LG-HD-768x432.jpg 768w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/04181036/120926_12-LG-HD-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/04181036/120926_12-LG-HD-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/04181036/120926_12-LG-HD-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/04181036/120926_12-LG-HD-1980x1114.jpg 1980w" sizes="(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-32543" class="wp-caption-text">Lawrence Brittain (b), Jonathan Smith, Vincent Breet, Lawrence Ndlovu (s), South Africa, Men’s Four, Heat 4, 2015 World Rowing Championships, Aiguebelette, France</figcaption></figure> <p>“In cooperation with the National Federation and NOC we envision to prepare a team of athletes, coaches and officials to be able to host a rowing competition in the 2026 Youth African Games and have a strong team to compete for this event and other events going forward,” says World Rowing development director Daniela Gomes.</p> <p>“World Rowing has been in close contact ever since 2019 and completed the first visit in March 2020, just preceding the covid-19 pandemic,” adds Gomes. “Our main objectives were to make initial contact and help the Federation to set up their ergometers and discuss basic safety consideration, review the boat storage and identify the core group of coaches and athletes who will be involved as well as the most appropriate initial training location.”</p> <p>Additionally, World Rowing Coach Educators and the South Africa Rowing Federation have prepared a donation of six singles and one double to enable the Lesotho Federation to start a programme once all safety issues are reviewed.</p> <p>The second visit, delayed due to the pandemic, is happening at present and it includes plans to transport the boats as well as looking at the next steps. The plan is to deliver a Technical Coach Course with Olympic Solidarity to develop coaches, umpires and start working with a small group of athletes.</p> <p>“The media has been very helpful in bringing exposure to the sport,” says Ndlovu. “They’ve done interviews with me, which helped make the sport known to the Basotho people. There`s also a PR campaign run by the Lesotho Rowing Federation that travels to high schools across the country and advocates water safety and rowing to Basotho children.”</p> <p>Ndlovu says the biggest hurdle is the stigma surrounding water. “There`s a strong fear of drowning, which prevents parents from encouraging children to join rowing and adults from exploring water sports. Once safe water practices and swimming competency is established in Lesotho, it will be much easier attracting membership.</p> <p>“Lesotho has all the advantages to be a great rowing nation. It has altitude and long, clean, beautiful stretches of water. I`m really looking forward to building the federation up and bringing Lesotho rowing onto the world stage,” says Ndlovu.</p> <p>A final word to remember coach Mpumi Geza. “He is deeply missed by our team on the ground and will be remembered for his valuable support to this project since 2019.” says Daniela Gomes, World Rowing’s Development Director.</p> </div> </div> <div class="section-inner">

class="wp-caption-text">Heats, Katherine Sauks, Lightweight Women's Single Sculls, Canada, 2016 World Rowing Championships, Rotterdam, the Netherlands</figcaption> </div> </figure> <div class="post-inner thin "> <div class="entry-content"> <p>Kate Haber (nee Sauks) competed in the lightweight women’s single and double sculls for Canada between 2015 and 2018. In 2017, she gave birth to her first child, and managed to be back in shape for the 2018 World Rowing Championships, where she finished ninth in the lightweight double. But that quick recovery also put an end to Haber’s international rowing career after competing at the 2019 Pan-Am Games. With a PhD in rehabilitation science, and a certification in pre- and post-natal fitness, Haber is using her experience to help other women on their training and pregnancy journeys.</p> <p>Haber is among a small, but growing, group of female athletes who have made a return to international competition following pregnancy and childbirth. In some countries, like Romania, this pathway is quite common – half of the women’s eight that won gold in Athens had children at the time. But in other countries, the trend is less forthcoming. In recent years, athletes like Helen Glover, Sanita Puspure and <a href="https://worldrowing.com/2015/07/20/rowing-life-sinead-jennings-comes-back/">Sinnead Jennings</a> have been added to the list. Haber helps us look at what is possible for the average pregnant athlete, how to approach recovery and what needs to shift in the world of elite rowing to support rowing parents.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>The pregnant athlete </strong></p> <p>Until recently, there has been a lack of research on the topic of exercise during pregnancy. It led to recommendations such as keeping your heartrate under 140 bpm, or not strength training.</p> <p>“That’s being shown to not be the case,” Haber says. “If someone has been rowing their whole life and done a lot of intensity, they can continue doing that while pregnant. The guideline is, instead of going to absolute max, maybe stop at about 8.5/10.”</p> <p>Haber clarifies that there are some exceptions. One is if the person has an absolute contraindication for exercise, something to discuss with their doctor, or if the person has never done high intensity workouts before their pregnancy. But for athletes with a healthy pregnancy, Haber says you can still go quite hard.</p> <p>She also recommends maintaining a strength training programme.</p> <p>“I think that strength training during pregnancy is so important. Strength training helps so much with minimising aches and pains as your belly grows and you gain weight. It helps with making labour and delivery easier and it helps with speeding your recovery after having a child,” she says.</p> <p>And finally, Haber says that rowing is a fantastic form of exercise while pregnant.</p> <p>“It’s not weight-bearing, and it’s a great alternative to walking or running. It gives a full-body workout with both a strength and conditioning component,” she says.</p> <p>Haber just warns against situations when you might fall into very cold water and being careful when the temperatures are very hot. She also says that some top athletes might become frustrated with their belly being ‘in the way’, and the technical adjustments necessary to accommodate a growing belly. At that point, rowers may choose to switch to another type of exercise.</p> <figure id="attachment_36419" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-36419" style="width: 580px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" class="wp-image-36419 size-large" src="https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/04174948/125634_12-LG-HD-1024x576.jpg" alt="Finals, Katherine Sauks, Lightweight Women's Single Sculls, Canada, 2016 World Rowing Senior Championships, Rotterdam, The Netherlands" width="580" height="326" srcset="https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/04174948/125634_12-LG-HD-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/04174948/125634_12-LG-HD-300x169.jpg 300w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/04174948/125634_12-LG-HD-768x432.jpg 768w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/04174948/125634_12-LG-HD-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/04174948/125634_12-LG-HD-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/04174948/125634_12-LG-HD-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/04174948/125634_12-LG-HD-1980x1114.jpg 1980w" sizes="(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-36419" class="wp-caption-text">Finals, Katherine Sauks, Lightweight Women’s Single Sculls, Canada, 2016 World Rowing Senior Championships, Rotterdam, The Netherlands</figcaption></figure> <p> </p> <p><strong>The road to recovery </strong></p> <p>While Haber says ‘the sky is the limit’ during pregnancy, she takes a different tact in the post-partum phase. She recommends three phases.</p> <p>The first phase is rest and recovery. Haber says this is crucial to help the body rebuild before it gets put under additional training stress.</p> <p>She calls the core a ‘deflated balloon’, which needs time to heal properly. While Haber says she didn’t lose much strength during her pregnancy, it was the connection between her legs and upper body, through the core, which was lost. This is, of course, a key component in the rowing stroke.</p> <p>The second post-partum phase is retraining, which means the inclusion of strength training exercises. Haber says here you can incorporate bands, weights and start to return to basic training.</p> <p>The final phase Haber calls ‘bullet-proofing your body’. That is when women start to incorporate impact exercises and increase the intensity. But Haber is quick to point out the need to go through each of these phases and check the boxes in each one before progressing.</p> <p>“This can really reduce complications that can arise up to a year later,” she says. “The thing is, in your mind you can do it – you remember how to do it, for example how to row and how to row hard. But first you need to check off the boxes, otherwise you can get complications.”</p> <p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone wp-image-73378 size-large" src="https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/26094027/20210123_112200-1-498x1024.jpg" alt="" width="498" height="1024" srcset="https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/26094027/20210123_112200-1-498x1024.jpg 498w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/26094027/20210123_112200-1-146x300.jpg 146w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/26094027/20210123_112200-1-768x1580.jpg 768w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/26094027/20210123_112200-1-747x1536.jpg 747w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/26094027/20210123_112200-1-996x2048.jpg 996w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/26094027/20210123_112200-1-1200x2469.jpg 1200w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/26094027/20210123_112200-1-scaled.jpg 1244w" sizes="(max-width: 498px) 100vw, 498px" /></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Pregnancy in elite sport </strong></p> <p>Haber would like to see more support for athletes who want to have children and return to the sport.</p> <p>“It would increase the longevity of athletes careers. Longevity is so important in sport. You can transfer your knowledge to the next generation and help them progress,” she says. “And there is enough evidence now that women come back just as strong, or stronger after pregnancy. But for it to work, both women and men need to feel like they have support.”</p> <p>Haber also recognizes that there are specific logistical challenges in the sport of rowing. It is a team sport, which often requires athletes to train at the same time, in the same place. Haber says there are more examples from other sports, like Athletics, of women successfully returning to the sport after having children.</p> <p>“It takes a lot of energy,” she says. “And there’s not always a lot of accommodation for an individualised programme. I hope that there will be more support for it in the future.”</p> <p>In the meantime, Haber says if you want to make it happen, be sure to communicate well with your coach and get their support. And always to consult with a physical therapist specialized in internal pelvic floor health.</p> <p>For more information about Kate Haber and her work, please visit her website here: <a

thin "> <div class="entry-content"> <p>The Rules of the sport of rowing are established every four years by the delegates of the World Rowing member national rowing federations. The process of how these rules are made is one of the many roles that World Rowing is tasked with and is part of what goes on ‘behind the scenes’ at World Rowing.</p> <p>There are two parts to the rules behind the sport. One part is the Statutes which define how World Rowing, as an international federation, is organised and governed. It explains how the sport is structured, how a national rowing association may become a member, the governance decision-making processes, as well as the individual commitment of each person involved in rowing to protect the integrity of the sport. It is broadly similar across all sports.</p> <p>The other part is the Rules of Racing – the rules around how the sport is run. It’s like the A to Z of what is rowing. It includes the categories in the sport, eligibility, anti-doping rules, technical specifications, and everything that is required to organise a regatta. It allows for consistency from one event to the next.</p> <p>Every four years there is the opportunity to propose updates and modifications to the Statutes and Rules for decisions by the member federations at the Quadrennial Congress (previously called the Extraordinary Congress), a meeting open to all Member Federations which takes place in the 12 months following the Olympic and Paralympic Games.</p> <p>This process described here allows for continuous improvement and to ensure that the Statutes and Rules reflect developments in both the social and cultural context – both within and outside of rowing.</p> <p>At the beginning of each Olympic cycle, two working groups start their work; the governance and the rules working groups. These working groups discuss where the focus needs to be based on issues that have come up over the previous quadrennium; anything that’s been brought to the attention of the working groups and also in consideration of World Rowing’s strategy and the wider sporting context. The working groups are made up of World Rowing Council and Commission members, staff members and rowing officials who have the relevant skills and experience.</p> <p>Subject areas which were a focus in the last quadrennium reflect the wider discussions in the sports community and society in relation to, for example, gender equality, diversity and inclusion, in particular transgender inclusion, and the increased focus on coastal and indoor rowing as well as safeguarding against harassment and abuse.</p> <p>The working groups go line-by-line through the Statutes and Rules making recommendations on changes or even new Statutes or Rules. These recommendations are then proposed to the World Rowing Council which then the decides which go forward to the 156 Member Federations at the congress.</p> <p>This is accompanied by an extensive consultation process with the member federations all along the way where they can voice their opinions and propose alternatives. Member Federations may also submit their own proposals for Statute or Rules changes with a deadline of three months-to-go before the congress.</p> <p>It is hoped, as a result of the significant preparations and exchanges with the membership during the consultation period, that by the time any changes are ready to go to the Quadrennial Congress, the proposed changes are close to having broad consensus. At this congress a two-thirds majority vote is needed for a Rule or Statute change.</p> <p>The World Rowing Council is responsible for drafting the appropriate Bye-Laws for the Statutes and Rules which basically define in further detail how the Statutes or Rules are to be executed. Finally, the Council is also charged with creating all the event regulations which are found in the appendices. The Bye-Laws and the Event Regulations can be changed by the Council, when necessary, in between Quadrennial Congresses.</p> <p>The Statutes can be found<a

class="wp-caption-text">More preparations and training at the 2021 World Rowing Junior Championships, Plovdiv, Bulgaria / Detlev Seyb/MyRowingPhoto.com</figcaption> </div> </figure> <div class="post-inner thin "> <div class="entry-content"> <p>Elite athletes and those around them often talk about the need for detraining during time off from the sport or at the point of retirement. But what exactly is detraining and how should athletes approach it? The Chair of the World Rowing Sport Medicine Commission, Dr. Juergen Steinacker, explains.</p> <p>According to Steinacker the original ‘detraining syndrome’ became a problem in the 1960s and 70s. “At that time athletes were training with high intensity intervals,” he explains. “Typical trainings were 8x560m, or 10x500m, things like that. It caused the athletes to be very stimulated,” Steinacker says.</p> <p>Athletes retiring after this type of training went from such a stimulated to un-stimulated state that they experienced ‘detraining syndrome.’ They had sleep problems and an elevated heart rate at night. But Steinacker says that this is no longer very common.</p> <p>“We don’t really see it now,” he says. “Rowers do much more endurance training, like 20-30km rows, which doesn’t lead to the same over-stimulation.”</p> <p>Steinacker says the need for strict training programs during vacation or retirement are probably unnecessary. But that does not mean athletes should stop training all together.</p> <p>“It’s wise for athletes not to step away from physical activity all together. During a vacation, go for fun activities like hiking,” Steinacker says. “It’s ok to decrease activity to about 30% of the previous training load, but not less than that.”</p> <p>When athletes retire, they should aim for that 30% of previous training load in the first year, and then slowly reduce after that. Steinacker admits that even 30% can be difficult to maintain when athletes start new jobs, have kids, and generally get busy with life after rowing.</p> <p>“There is not a big immediate risk for the athletes’ heart,” he continues. “The bigger risk during retirement is overeating, which eventually can lead to problems for the heart.”</p> <p>Steinacker says that athletes should adjust to their new caloric expenditure and be careful to modify their eating habits accordingly. He also says athletes should be monitored in their first year after retirement.</p> <p>“I really feel strongly that athletes should be examined by a federation doctor, where possible, one year after their retirement. We can look at risk factors, like blood pressure, weight gain, etc. This would help ease athletes into the transition and work for better health in their future,” he says.</p> <p>The main message from Steinacker is to try to find a healthy balance during breaks or retirement from elite sport. Physical activity is still important and building a good exercise habit will help elite athletes to be healthier post career.</p> </div> </div> <div class="section-inner"> </div> </article> <hr

class="post-inner thin "> <div class="entry-content"> <p>Following a comprehensive consultation process with the International Olympic Committee and the Paris 2024 Organising Committee, the International Paralympic Committee Governing Board has today approved the medal events programme and athlete quotas for the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games.</p> <p>The announcement follows the IPC Governing Board’s approval of the final medal events programme and athlete quotas for the next Paralympic Games, following a lengthy consultation exercise with international federations.</p> <p>For rowing, this means a fifth event will be added to the existing programme – the PR3 Mixed Double Sculls. This change will increase the total number of Athletes slots from 96 at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games to 104 for Paris 2024 – still with an equal number of women and men competing – meaning 12 each of the PR1 Men’s and Women’s Single Sculls and 10 each of the double sculls and the coxed quadruple sculls.</p> <p>There will now be five events in the Paralympic rowing programme: the PR1 Men’s Single Sculls, the PR1 Women’s Single Sculls, the PR2 Mixed Double Sculls, the PR3 Mixed Coxed Four and the PR3 Mixed Double Sculls.</p> <p>World Rowing President Jean-Christophe Rolland said: “We are proud that rowing’s Paralympic programme will increase with the addition of a mixed event. We understand the challenge of the quota across all sports and appreciate that the IPC accepted to add another event to the rowing programme. We are dedicated and committed to continuous improvement for Para-Rowing and we can be truly satisfied by this decision.”</p> <p>The qualification criteria will be published in the first quarter of 2022.</p> <p>Find the IPC announcement here : <a

The duo’s 2021 success included being the only rowers in Tokyo to win more than one medal. Prendergast and Gowler won Olympic gold in the pair and then joined their country’s eight to take silver. This 2021 success comes after a string of medals as well as owning the World Best Time in the women’s pair.</p> <p>China’s quadruple sculls of Xiaotong Cui, Yang Lyu, Yunxia Chen and Ling Zhang came in the next four positions for women. This is the first time China has been in the Top 10. These four rowers not only won gold at the Tokyo Olympics, but in the final they also set a new World Best Time. Cui came into the Chinese quad in 2018 and has remained there ever since. She began her international career by winning the four at the World Rowing Junior Championships in 2012. Cui stroked the quad in Tokyo.</p> <p>The Olympic Champion double sculls of Romania’s Ancuta Bodnar and Simona Radis were in spot seven and eight respectively in the top 10 list. Bodnar and Radis’s lead-up to Tokyo was exceptional, winning every race they entered in 2020 and 2021. They are just 23 and 22 years old.</p> <p>Positions nine and ten were taken out by Australia’s Jessica Morrison and Annabelle McIntyre. The duo was part of the winning women’s four at the Tokyo Olympics. They also raced in the pair finishing seventh overall. For Morrison Tokyo was her second Olympic Games and for McIntyre, who stroked the four, Tokyo was her first Olympics.</p> <p> </p> <p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Top 10 Women</strong><strong> </strong></p> <ol> <li style="margin-left: 50px;"> <ol> <li style="text-align: left;"><strong>Grace Prendergast</strong></li> <li style="text-align: left;"><strong> Kerri Gowler</strong></li> <li style="text-align: left;"><strong> Xiaotong Cui</strong></li> <li style="text-align: left;"><strong>Yang Lyu</strong></li> <li style="text-align: left;"><strong> Yunxia Chen</strong></li> <li style="text-align: left;"><strong> Ling Zhang</strong></li> <li style="text-align: left;"><strong> Ancuta Bodnar</strong></li> <li style="text-align: left;"><strong> Simona Radis</strong></li> <li style="text-align: left;"><strong> Jessica Morrison</strong></li> <li style="text-align: left;"><strong> Annabelle McIntyre</strong></li> </ol> </li> </ol> <figure id="attachment_61251" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-61251" style="width: 580px" class="wp-caption alignnone center"><img loading="lazy" class="wp-image-61251 size-large" src="https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/29063957/DSC_0946-1024x596.jpg" alt="Grace Prendergast (b), Kerri Gowler (s), Women's Pair, New Zealand, 2020 Olympic Games Regatta, Tokyo, Japan" width="580" height="338" srcset="https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/29063957/DSC_0946-1024x596.jpg 1024w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/29063957/DSC_0946-300x175.jpg 300w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/29063957/DSC_0946-768x447.jpg 768w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/29063957/DSC_0946-1536x894.jpg 1536w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/29063957/DSC_0946-2048x1192.jpg 2048w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/29063957/DSC_0946-1200x699.jpg 1200w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/29063957/DSC_0946-1980x1153.jpg 1980w" sizes="(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-61251" class="wp-caption-text">Grace Prendergast (b), Kerri Gowler (s), Women’s Pair, New Zealand, 2020 Olympic Games Regatta, Tokyo, Japan / World Rowing/Detlev Seyb</figcaption></figure> <p> </p> <h4>Top 10 Men </h4> <p>For the men the Dutch quadruple sculls took out the top four spots. Leading the bunch, and helped by his longevity in the sport, was Dirk Uittenbogaard. Filling the bow seat in his country’s quad, Uittenbogaard started rowing internationally 14 years ago with the 2007 World Rowing Junior Championships. He medalled at the 2016 Olympic Games in the eight but 2021 truly was Uittenbogaard’s year, capped by Olympic gold.</p> <p>Abe Wiersma, Tone Wieten and Koen Metsemakers took position two, three and four in the men’s Top 10. All of them were part of the Dutch Olympic Champion quad. Wiersma took up two-seat. He has been a member of the quad since 2017 and before that he joined his country’s senior team as part of the eight. Wieten came into the quad in 2018 and before that was in the Dutch men’s eight winning a medal at the Rio Olympics as part of this boat. Stroke of the quad, Metsemakers came into the boat in 2017 having made the Dutch team for the first time in 2016. Tokyo was Metsemakers first Olympic Games.</p> <p>In winning at Tokyo the Dutch quad not only set the Olympic best time but also the World Best Time.</p> <p>The remaining places for the Top 10 men included some of the most popular gold medals scored on the Sea Forest Waterway at the Tokyo Olympics. Position five and six were filled by the affable Irish lightweight men’s double sculls of Paul O’Donovan and Fintan McCarthy. The partnership between O’Donovan and McCarthy started in 2019 with McCarthy taking over from Gary O’Donovan who had won silver with Paul at the Rio Olympics. As well as winning gold – Ireland’s first ever Olympic rowing gold – at the Sea Forest Waterway in Tokyo, O’Donovan and McCarthy set a new World Best Time with a phenomenal race in their semifinal.</p> <p>The Croatian pair of Valent and Martin Sinkovic come next on the Top 10. The brothers won gold at Tokyo to add to their collection of Olympic gold in the double sculls from Rio and a silver in the quad from London 2012.</p> <p>Matthieu Androdias and Hugo Boucheron became the toast of France when they won the double sculls at the Tokyo Olympics. It was a shaky lead-up for the duo over the quadrennial, but they pulled it off when it counted the most, going from sixth at the Rio Olympics to the gold medal at Tokyo.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Top

class="wp-caption-text">Training and preparation, 2019 World Rowing Coastal Championships, Hong Kong, China</figcaption> </div> </figure> <div class="post-inner thin "> <div class="entry-content"> <p>Chris Perry, a British native, moved to Hong Kong in 1986 for a three-month coaching position. He has been there ever since. Now, just shy of his 60<sup>th</sup> birthday, Perry plans to retire from his full-time Head Coach position at the Hong Kong Sport Institute, but the legacy that he leaves behind in Hong Kong and throughout Asia is invaluable.</p> <p>Perry’s coaching career started in 1984 when he was side-lined from the Olympic trials due to injury. He quickly transitioned to coaching and was helping coach the lightweight team at the National Watersports Centre in Nottingham, United Kingdom when he saw an advertisement for a three-month coaching position in Hong Kong.</p> <p>“I had always wanted to go to Asia, I had never been to Asia before and I thought I would just go for three months to help the team and then come back again,” Perry says.</p> <p>His job was to prepare the rowing team for the upcoming Asian Games in Seoul, Korea, which was a test event for the 1988 Olympic Games. After the event, Perry was asked to stay and help set up a more permanent rowing programme. He had also met his now-wife Fay Ho.</p> <p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone wp-image-71426 size-full" src="https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/15153322/IWD-Chris-Perry-2-e1636986840568.jpeg" alt="" width="534" height="326" srcset="https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/15153322/IWD-Chris-Perry-2-e1636986840568.jpeg 534w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/15153322/IWD-Chris-Perry-2-e1636986840568-300x183.jpeg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 534px) 100vw, 534px" /></p> <p>“I had met Fay, who was on the canoeing team at the time, and I thought, ok, maybe I’ll stay and help them set up a rowing programme. I definitely wasn’t planning to stay as long as I have,” Perry laughs.</p> <p>So, Perry began building his rowing programme. The first major success came when Hong Kong won their first-ever international medal in rowing, at the 1989 Asian Championships in India. It was won by his wife, Fay Ho, who had switched over to rowing in part due to Perry’s involvement, but primarily due to her small stature, which was suited to the lightweight category.</p> <p>“It really put rowing on the map. It got us a bit more funding and showed that rowing could be in Asia, and within the Hong Kong context, a successful sport,” Perry says.</p> <p>This led to a cascade of medal success for Hong Kong, especially at Asian events like the Asian Games, but also two medals at the World Rowing Under 23 Championships. Perry says that Hong Kong has always had lofty goals.</p> <p>“Although we’re very small, we’ve always had the ambition to try to punch above our weight. We’ve tried to get in as much as we can on that level,” he says.</p> <p> </p> <p>Perry credits much of his success to the time he and the team spent training in Piediluco, Italy.</p> <p>“We went on a regular basis, starting in 1988,” he says. “We had het benefit of taking part in training camps with Thor Nielsen keeping an eye on things.”</p> <p>“But what I learned was not just about rowing, but how to organise a programme and a training centre in a systematic way. It was more about programme management, which Thor was brilliant at,” Perry says.</p> <p>The programme management built on top of his athlete-centred coaching philosophy.</p> <p>“My coaching style is very individualised. I like to deal with athletes as individuals and to coach them as humans. I think that things have to be athlete-centred and coach-driven. The coach has to be the one that coordinates everything around the athletes to give them the right environment.”</p> <p>He pauses and then adds, “The well-being of athletes has always been something quite close to me, even before it was trendy. I’ve involved myself a lot in the safeguarding and mental health projects.”</p> <p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-71698" src="https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/17104443/Chris-Perry-252x300.jpeg" alt="" width="252" height="300" srcset="https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/17104443/Chris-Perry-252x300.jpeg 252w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/17104443/Chris-Perry-861x1024.jpeg 861w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/17104443/Chris-Perry-768x913.jpeg 768w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/17104443/Chris-Perry.jpeg 963w" sizes="(max-width: 252px) 100vw, 252px" /></p> <p>Perry also credits the unwavering support that he’s had from the Hong Kong Rowing Association throughout his tenure.</p> <p>“I’ve been here almost 36 years and it can only be because of the very strong support from the federation. You can’t survive in that kind of post without it,” he says.</p> <p>But Perry’s work extends far beyond his successful Hong Kong team. Since 2002, he has worked on development and coaching for World Rowing throughout all of Asia.</p> <p>“I must say, the involvement in the development programme has also been something really wonderful. It has been a great learning experience. I’ve been to almost every Asian country, including North Korea. I am really satisfied about that and it’s very close to my heart,” Perry says.</p> <p>His retirement from the Head Coach position will free up more time for Perry to dedicate to the development and coaching work. And, he says, he hopes to enjoy his early retirement years together with his wife, while they are both still in good health.</p> <p>But it’s not with eyes shut that Perry leaves the Hong Kong team – he has high hopes for their future, despite uncertain times.</p> <p>“There are a lot of challenges ahead. We’ve run a predominately, if not entirely, lightweight programme. We’ve already started trying to make a shift. We’ve taken delivery in the elite team of coastal boats. We’re not abandoning classic rowing, but we are strengthening our coastal rowing arm and we’re looking at ways of branching out,” Perry says.</p> <p>The recruitment for Perry’s replacement is still on-going, but one thing is for sure, they will have big shoes to fill.</p> </div> </div> <div class="section-inner"> </div> </article> <hr class="post-separator styled-separator is-style-wide

carried with it an air of mystery. It’s more difficult to quantify a coxswain’s contribution to the boat as compared to a rower. To shed light on this all-important role, World Rowing spoke with two of the world’s best coxswains: Sam Bosworth (NZL) and Kristen Kit (CAN). Bosworth and Kit both led their crews to, as some would argue, unexpected victories at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo.</em></p> <p> </p> <h3><strong>Pre-race prep </strong></h3> <p>Leading up to the race, coxswains follow a different pre-race plan than their fellow athletes. Both Bosworth and Kit agree that it involves planning.</p> <p>“I am a planner, most coxswains are,” Kit says. She runs through the notes that she has kept about the boat and the personality of the boat. “Keeping those themes fresh in my mind before a high stress race helps me keep the crew calm and focused on the task at hand.”</p> <p>And Bosworth, who was trained at Christ College in New Zealand says that being on top of the planning helped him work his way up in a tough, eights-focused team.</p> <p>“I normally am the one making the plan the night before (days before) in terms of timing. Wake up, meal timing, bus timetable, when to meet at the boat, erg workout, when are we getting boat down, etc,” Bosworth says.</p> <p>Just before the racing, Bosworth takes the time to visualise. “I am just sitting there, thinking about the race plan and planning. We have a set race plan but having a think about extra calls I might put in, or a few different scenarios in my head,” he says.</p> <p>Kit adds another element to her pre-race visualisation.</p> <p>“I always try to do a hard workout while I visualise the calls. Doing something really hard, it gets me to that place. I’m in such a deep pain cave that I know the girls don’t need me to be a cheerleader, they need calm, they need precise, they need someone who is willing to be in battle with them,” she says.</p> <div class="mceTemp"></div> <figure id="attachment_37433" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-37433" style="width: 580px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" class="wp-image-37433 size-large" src="https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/04174436/129672_12-LG-HD-1024x576.jpg" alt="Kristen Kit (c), Women's Eight, Canada, Heats, 2017 World Rowing Championships, Sarasota-Bradenton, USA" width="580" height="326" srcset="https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/04174436/129672_12-LG-HD-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/04174436/129672_12-LG-HD-300x169.jpg 300w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/04174436/129672_12-LG-HD-768x432.jpg 768w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/04174436/129672_12-LG-HD-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/04174436/129672_12-LG-HD-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/04174436/129672_12-LG-HD-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/04174436/129672_12-LG-HD-1980x1114.jpg 1980w" sizes="(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-37433" class="wp-caption-text">Kristen Kit (c), Women’s Eight, Canada, Heats, 2017 World Rowing Championships, Sarasota-Bradenton, USA</figcaption></figure> <p> </p> <h3><strong>Write it down </strong></h3> <p>Both Bosworth and Kit are proponents of writing things down and keeping notes.</p> <p>“I keep a really scrappy, ugly journal. I am looking through those journals for key words, key ideas. It’s not for particular calls, but it’s to make sure that I’m with the theme of the boat and the personality of the crew, what we’ve been thinking about technically,” she says.</p> <p>Bosworth has a similarly ‘scrappy’ way of jotting things down.</p> <p>“I definitely do write things down,” he says. “I think that’s very powerful. Even if you write it down and don’t read it again. I always carry a notebook, or bits of paper. For the Olympics I just had an A4 paper that I scribbled on throughout the week.”</p> <p> </p> <h3><strong>To script, or not to script? </strong></h3> <p>But when it comes to the racing, how much is actually scripted? How much do the coxswains follow an exact plan? That differs slightly between the two of them. For Kit, very little is scripted ahead of time.</p> <p>“I visualise a lot, but I don’t plan,” she says. “We’ve got a race plan and it’s my responsibility to execute it. The women need to know what’s probably going to happen. In the Olympic final, I didn’t plan the calls I made, I just relied on our culture, the theme and the personality of the boat.”</p> <p>While Bosworth has a slightly more scripted approach.</p> <p>“All the technical things are scripted – we go out with a plan of what we’re going to work on for the race,” he says. With the crew at the Olympics, that meant pre-determined key words.</p> <p>“Whenever I said some of those key words, everyone knew what we were doing, everyone was on the same page at the same time.”</p> <p>Bosworth says he would never throw out anything different technically, but estimates that about 30% of his calls are made spontaneously in the race.</p> <p>“In the Olympic final, calling out Bond going for his third Olympic medal, or calling out something that’s going to hype them up, they’ve never heard that before. It’s not that they need it, but it does bring an excitement to the crew,” he says.</p> <div class="mceTemp"></div> <figure id="attachment_60611" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-60611" style="width: 580px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" class="wp-image-60611 size-large" src="https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/25015646/536A4172-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="387" srcset="https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/25015646/536A4172-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/25015646/536A4172-300x200.jpg 300w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/25015646/536A4172-768x512.jpg 768w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/25015646/536A4172-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/25015646/536A4172-1200x800.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-60611" class="wp-caption-text">Thomas Mackintosh (b), Hamish Bond, Tom Murray, Michael Brake, Daniel Williamson, Phillip Wilson, Shaun Kirkham, Matt Macdonald (s), Sam Bosworth (c), Men’s Eight, New Zealand, 2020 Olympic Games Regatta, Tokyo, Japan / World Rowing/Igor Meijer</figcaption></figure> <p> </p> <h3><strong>The race plan </strong></h3> <p>It’s not fully-scripted, but both coxswains do follow a pre-determined race plan, even if race plans in rowing are not always ground-breaking.</p> <p>“I would venture to guess that most race plans are the same,” Kit says. “The unpredictability is the beauty of the sport and that lies in technique and the ability to hold form under pressure. You can’t write a race plan to make people do that.”</p> <p>Kit says their race plan is informed by the boat feel.</p> <p>“It’s my responsibility to make sure the rhythm feels good, it feels long, it feels sustainable. I can use metrics to inform that: rate, speed, wind, other boats. All these facts inform the race plan.”</p> <p>Bosworth agrees that adaptability is key.</p> <p>“We talk about it, we go out there and practice it,” Bosworth says. “But you do have to be adaptable, that’s the thing. You gain that from experience. You have a plan with the crew, but you’ve also got to be able to change it if it’s not going the way you want it to.”</p> <p> </p> <h3><strong>Living the race </strong></h3> <p>Once the plan is set, the athletes are ready and the crews have launched, it’s time to race. Do the coxswains actively live the race, are they conscious about it, or is it all a blur? This is where our two Olympic gold medallist coxswains diverge significantly.</p> <p>For Kit, the race almost happens in slow motion. She is consciously experiencing every second of it.</p> <p>“I almost feel like I have two sets of eyes, the in-boat eyes and the out-boat eyes. I am very aware of other boats, that was drilled into me from a young age, don’t miss any bowballs around you. The rowers, they trust you to be their eyes and ears, and you can’t lose that trust,” she says.</p> <p>“I feel like my brain moves a mile a minute, but also very slowly. That’s something that has developed with the cycling races that I’ve done. In bike racing, it happens really fast, you’re going 50km an hour and into a sprint. But rowing racing, happens really slow. It’s 21-22km an hour and you only shift by about 0,5km an hour,” she explains.</p> <p>“There’s a sense of energy change too. You can feel the energy change. There’s no fact based on that, but it’s a crucial point in the race, in the crew,” she says.</p> <p>But Bosworth says that some of his best races are actually a blur. When he is really in the zone, not over-thinking things.</p> <p>“In the Heat at the Olympics, I remember that I was actively thinking about steering. Whereas in the Final, I remember coming out of the blocks, but there’s definitely parts that are a blur. I was so internal in our boat, focused in our boat to the point the boys laughed. They said, ‘you didn’t actually tell us we were winning for a long time.’ It didn’t really phase me. I knew we were out in front, I knew what we were doing was going well.”</p> <p>For Bosworth, he describes it differently, but reading the energy of the field also plays an important role in his coxing.</p> <p>“The best you can do is to be proactive and not reactive. So, reading the field and knowing when we are starting to move, trying to get out and then we take charge of the race,” he says.</p> <figure id="attachment_61363" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-61363" style="width: 580px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" class="wp-image-61363 size-large" src="https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/31065241/DSC_6356-1024x460.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="261" srcset="https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/31065241/DSC_6356-1024x460.jpg 1024w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/31065241/DSC_6356-300x135.jpg 300w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/31065241/DSC_6356-768x345.jpg 768w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/31065241/DSC_6356-1536x690.jpg 1536w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/31065241/DSC_6356-2048x920.jpg 2048w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/31065241/DSC_6356-1200x539.jpg 1200w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/31065241/DSC_6356-1980x889.jpg 1980w" sizes="(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-61363" class="wp-caption-text">Lisa Roman (b), Kasia Gruchalla-Wesierski, Andrea Proske, Christine Roper, Susanne Grainger, Madison Mailey, Sydney Payne, Avalon Wasteneys (s), Kristen Kit (c), Women’s Eight, Canada, 2020 Olympic Games Regatta, Tokyo, Japan / World Rowing/Detlev Seyb</figcaption></figure> <p> </p> <h3><strong>The Olympic final </strong></h3> <p>Both Kit and Bosworth found themselves in the Olympic final. Both crews had taken the hard route – they had gone through the heat and then the repechage. Both crews say that going through the repechage was an advantage and may have led to their victory – it gave them one extra race to prepare for the final.</p> <p>The Canadian team focused on their team culture. They built a mission and vision in the year leading up to the Olympics and stuck to it. For the final, they focused on two things.</p> <p>“Staying present and it was never enough – that was our theme for our final,” says Kit. “We’d been rowed through in the heat and the repechage in the last quarter, so that’s what we focused on.”</p> <p>Of course, it doesn’t always go to plan.</p> <p>“I didn’t expect to be that far ahead of the start, going off at 48 spm,” Kit laughs. “There was a split second when I thought – did we go too hard? But the belief was so strong that no one was going to pass us on that day. I trusted my instinct and changed the race plan a little. I really lived that race with the women, I was so in the moment in that race.”</p> <p>The Kiwi crew had a similar approach. Throughout the lead-up they worked on team culture and built a solid foundation of trust. The finals day, Bosworth says everything went well.</p> <p>“It was just calm, we did our warm-up, everything felt relaxed,” he says. “We were on the Olympic startline, and I thought, let’s just go enjoy this. We had a lot of enthusiasm in the crew, and it wasn’t fake,” Bosworth says.</p> <p>“We talked a lot about not needing the gold medal, a lot about wanting it. That really stuck with the crew,” he says.</p> <p>Bosworth stuck to his plan, coxed the crew into the right rhythm and went from there. He was internally focused, and everything went right.</p> <div class="mceTemp"></div> <figure id="attachment_61368" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-61368" style="width: 580px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" class="wp-image-61368 size-large" src="https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/31065352/DSC_7762-1024x548.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="310" srcset="https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/31065352/DSC_7762-1024x548.jpg 1024w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/31065352/DSC_7762-300x161.jpg 300w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/31065352/DSC_7762-768x411.jpg 768w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/31065352/DSC_7762-1536x822.jpg 1536w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/31065352/DSC_7762-2048x1096.jpg 2048w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/31065352/DSC_7762-1200x642.jpg 1200w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/31065352/DSC_7762-1980x1060.jpg 1980w" sizes="(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-61368" class="wp-caption-text">Thomas Mackintosh (b), Hamish Bond, Tom Murray, Michael Brake, Daniel Williamson, Phillip Wilson, Shaun Kirkham, Matt Macdonald (s), Sam Bosworth (c), Men’s Eight, New Zealand, 2020 Olympic Games Regatta, Tokyo, Japan / World Rowing/Detlev Seyb</figcaption></figure> <h3><strong>Coxing tips </strong></h3> <p>Bosworth and Kit are arguably the two best coxswains in the world, so what do they recommend for the next generation?</p> <p>Kit says to keep asking yourself: why not you?</p> <p>“There were a lot of reasons for me why I shouldn’t have been in that boat, why I shouldn’t have made the national team. You have to believe in your core, why not you? There’s a lot of failure, that doesn’t always need to be career ending, think about what you can learn from it and how can you adapt it to be part of your story,” she says.</p> <p>And Bosworth advises taking in as much as you can.</p> <p>“Be like a sponge, that’s what I tell a lot of coxswains that I coach,” he says. “And don’t be afraid to ask for feedback, and then make the changes.”</p> </div>

class="post-inner thin "> <div class="entry-content"> <p><strong>Rower of the Month –</strong> <em>November 2021</em></p> <p><em>Since he first picked up an oar at only 8 years old, <a href="https://worldrowing.com/athlete/9022de0c-e9c0-424a-bb5f-ca0ccbd9e97f">Jaime Canalejo Pazos</a> has been in love with the sport. After reaching his first Olympic Final in the Men’s Pair this year, he decided to take part in the 2021 World Rowing Coastal Championship, where he took home two medals – gold in the Coastal Men’s Solo, and silver in the Coastal Mixed Double with his life partner Natalia de Miguel. We sat down with him to chat some more:</em></p> <p><strong>How was your on water season?</strong></p> <p>It started very well with a bronze at World Rowing Cup I in Zagreb, with a good feeling for the Olympics. Then at World Cup II in Lucerne, we couldn’t get our best performance and had some problems. Luckily, we managed to solve them quickly. Participating in the Olympic Games was a dream come true. We managed to compete very well, especially in the semi-final, which gave us a pass to the final A. The medal would not be, since we could not recover 100% from one day to the next, and our rivals were superior to us. We felt a little tired, and the second 1000 meters we could not put in the small change of pace that we always do.<br /> Later in the season, I participated in the World Rowing Coastal Championship. I won the CM1x and came second in Mix2x with my partner Natalia de Miguel. The regattas were incredible, and we managed to beat boats that had a high level.</p> <p><strong>How did you first get into rowing?</strong></p> <p>I live in Seville and rowing has a lot of tradition there. I tried it out with my brother at the Club Náutico Sevilla, and from the first day I loved it. I started when I was only 8 years old, but I am still here.</p> <p><strong>You recently competed (and did very well!) at the 2021 World Rowing Coastal Championships. Can you tell us more about your experience in coastal rowing, and what prompted you to try it?</strong></p> <p>The experience was incredible. It is totally different from Olympic rowing. There is a lot of strategy in the regatta and many things can happen (crashes, changes of direction, waves, etc.). It is very entertaining and fun, although they are very long races; since they are between 4000 and 6000 meters long. I was encouraged by my partner Natalia de Miguel who lives in a coastal city (Malaga), to try it out. We thought about doing the Coastal Mixed Double to be able to row together, and then she encouraged me to do the CM1x as well. Luckily I listened, because I went on to win a spectacular race. I had been training the month of September in Malaga at her club, since they let me row with their boats and adapt to the sea. That way of rowing is totally different. It took many kilometers with the waves to get used to it, and there were very difficult days.</p> <figure id="attachment_55455" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-55455" style="width: 580px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" class="wp-image-55455 size-large" src="https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/01212450/DSC_5331-1024x634.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="359" srcset="https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/01212450/DSC_5331-1024x634.jpg 1024w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/01212450/DSC_5331-300x186.jpg 300w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/01212450/DSC_5331-768x476.jpg 768w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/01212450/DSC_5331-1536x951.jpg 1536w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/01212450/DSC_5331-2048x1268.jpg 2048w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/01212450/DSC_5331-1200x743.jpg 1200w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/01212450/DSC_5331-1980x1226.jpg 1980w" sizes="(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-55455" class="wp-caption-text">Jaime Canalejo Pazos (b), Javier Garcia Ordonez (s), Men’s Pair, Spain, bronze, 2021 World Rowing Cup I, Zagreb, Croatia / Detlev Seyb/MyRowingPhoto.com</figcaption></figure> <p> </p> <p><strong>Can you tell us more about your A-Final in the CM1x at the 2021 World Rowing Coastal Championships? It looked like an amazing race.</strong></p> <p>The regatta was very complicated because there is a lot of current at the mouth of the Tajo River in Lisbon where the race took place. I managed to reach the first buoy with the current World Rowing Coastal Champion, Adrián Miramón. He got caught on the buoy and the capsized because of the current. At that moment, I knew that I had a good chance of winning. The second straightaway was 2km, so the second buoy was not visible in the distance. You had to go in blindly, and trust that you were in the right direction. It was far out into the ocean, and the waves were getting bigger and harder to row. The German came up to me right on the third part of the race, but I managed to get ahead again and then I knew that if I didn’t make any mistakes, I would win. The last kilometer, I loosened out a bit, because I had the A-Final in the CMix2x 1 hour later and I did not want to wear myself out.</p> <p><strong>What do you think about the future of coastal rowing?</strong></p> <p>I think it is very spectacular and has a great future. More and more countries are participating and the level in the championships is higher every edition. This year, several Olympic rowers medalled, so the reach is really increasing. I think it may be an Olympic discipline in the not too distant future.</p> <p><strong>What are your upcoming goals in rowing?</strong></p> <p>In the short term, this year’s international competitions (European Championships in Munich, World Rowing Championships in Racice). And in the long term, I am thinking of the Olympic Games in Paris 2024. This Olympic cycle is a shorter year and I think I can achieve a better result than in Tokyo.</p> <p><strong>Where is your favourite rowing location?</strong></p> <p>Seville is the best. Luckily that’s where I live. The weather, the city, and the river are perfect for rowing. There is 7km of calm water, in which you cross through the city with incredible views. Many large rowing nations and rowers come train here during the winter months.</p> <figure id="attachment_65663" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-65663" style="width: 580px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" class="wp-image-65663 size-large" src="https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/05102012/D5A_7223-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="387" srcset="https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/05102012/D5A_7223-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/05102012/D5A_7223-300x200.jpg 300w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/05102012/D5A_7223-768x512.jpg 768w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/05102012/D5A_7223-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/05102012/D5A_7223-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/05102012/D5A_7223-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/05102012/D5A_7223-1980x1320.jpg 1980w" sizes="(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-65663" class="wp-caption-text">Natalia Miguel Gomez (b), Jaime Canalejo Pazos (s), Mixed Double, Spain, 2021 World Rowing Coastal Championships, Oeiras, Portugal / World Rowing/Benedict Tufnell</figcaption></figure> <p><strong>When you aren’t rowing, what does your life look like? Are you a student, do you work, or is rowing the full-time job?</strong></p> <p>I spend most of my time training, but I am completing a degree in sports and physical activity science. I hope to finish it this year, and face the qualifying year in 2023 at 100%.</p> <p><strong>If you could give one piece of advice to a rower starting out what would it be?</strong></p> <p>Enjoy the process and be patient. It is a very physical and technical sport and requires many years to excel. There are going to be good and bad days, but the important thing is to always get up and go for the next one.</p> <p><strong>What’s the most memorable piece of advice that has been said to you?</strong></p> <p>With work, effort, and sacrifice dreams come true; and that I can say is true.</p> <p><strong>Do you have a mentor or athlete that you admire?</strong></p> <p>Rafael Nadal seems to me to be the perfect athlete. He has won it all and remains humble. It is very difficult to be in his situation and keep your feet on the ground. He is an athlete that I have always loved to see compete, and luckily he is Spanish.</p> <p>Check out Jaime’s A-Final in the CM1x <a

It was more than 1,300 kilometres. It took a month and was the first attempt ever for rowing the Grand Canal of China.</p> <p>The row started at the Tongzhou Grand Canal Center in Beijing and finished in Ningbo and the idea, initiated by Honorary Asia Rowing Federation (ARF) President, Wang Shi, was to create green awareness as well as a cultural and historical discovery for the participants.</p> <p>The 22 rowers were in coxed and un-coxed quadruple sculls and every day saw rowing in the morning with the afternoon used to experience history and culture of the city.</p> <p>Former ARF secretary general and Grand Canal rower Ken Lee explains; “With 2,500 years of history and the lifeblood of ancient China, the Grand Canal nourishes city clusters alongside it and contributes to the free flow of people, goods and information. All rowers are blessed with a spiritual conversation with the ancient intelligence, understanding what unites the Chinese people and feeling the combination of ancient and modern charms.</p> <p>“It’s a fantastic experience to row the artificial Grand Canal. It’s like climbing the Great Wall of China. Along the way we visited many ancient and modern museums, such as the China Grand Canal Museum at Yangzhou.”</p> <p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone wp-image-66533 size-large"

modern boats next to ancient wharfs and folk life.”</p> <p>Echoing the world trends of environmental protection, rowers collected water samples from the 19 cities rowed through and submitted them to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) for water quality monitoring.</p> <p>“I hope all rowers start using reusable water bottles instead of plastic water bottles,” says Lee.</p> </div> </div> <div
