</div> </header> <div class="post-inner thin "> <div class="entry-content"> <p> Top international crews from the Czech Republic, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland took part in this year's regatta in the four boat classes on the international programme: the men's single sculls (M1x), the women's single sculls (W1x), the lightweight men's four (LM4-) and the men's quadruple sculls (M4x).  </p> <p> Switzerland's Olympic lightweight men's four of Mario Gyr, Simon Niepmann, Valentin Gmelin and Simon Schürch were the strongest crew in the Round Robins, winning three of the three races that they competed in. In the A-final, however, the Czech crew of Miroslav Vrasti, Martin Slavik, Ondrej and Jan Vetesnik took the upper hand and, in the tightest race of the day, finished one hundredth of a second ahead of Switzerland in gold, to the great disappointment of the local crowd. "It was fun," said Jan Vetesnik of the Czech Republic. "We enjoyed racing, and the city is beautiful. The racing was not about style or technique but big muscles and power so it worked for us and we did it – we won! We haven't trained as a four since the Olympics – this was fun, and we hope to race again next year."</p> <p> Germany and the Czech Republic qualified for the A-final in the men's quadruple sculls. The German crew, including World Champions Eric Knittel and Stefan Krueger raced to the line, claiming gold less than one second ahead of the Czechs. German athlete Mathias Rocher said: "It was very nice and it was a great experience for us. The sprint format is great – it's free for the audience, everyone can watch and I think it will do good things for rowing."</p> <p> In the men's single sculls, Switzerland's David Aregger and Germany's Marcel Hacker finished with an equal score in the Round Robins – two points each. Aregger, aged 22, has been competing internationally at the junior and under-23 levels since 2008, while Hacker is a four-time Olympian and Olympic bronze medallist. The two athletes went head to head, finishing just a bit more than one second apart in the A-final, with Hacker claiming the gold medal. "It's a nice format," said Hacker. "It's very short, close finishes and interesting racing. I like Zurich as a venue – it is so close to the city and even though it's raining, there are so many people. I like it. The race was very short, so I had to concentrate for the final. I had the luck to win."</p> <p> Mirka Knapkova is the 2012 Olympic Champion in the women's single sculls. Here in Zurich she competed against experienced scullers Chantal Achterberg from the Netherlands (2012 Olympic bronze medallist in the women's eight), Julia Lier from Germany (three-time under-23 World Champion and two-time junior World Champion) as well as Switzerland's Jeannine Gmelin. Knapkova, Achterberg and Lier won two points each in the Round Robins, with the fastest times going to Knapkova and Achterberg. In the A-final, Knapkova finished a full two seconds ahead of Achterberg in first. Winner Knapkova said: "It was fun. It's so different from normal racing so I really enjoyed it. I'd like to race again next year. This is my second sprint regatta. It's short and rowing in the city can maybe be more objective for the public."</p> <p> The universities of St. Petersburg and Zurich as well as the Swiss Federal Institutes of Zurich and Lausanne lined up to race each other for the Thomas Keller invitational university men's eight challenge. St. Petersburg University won each of the three Round Robins it competed in, with the University of Zurich winning two. In the A-final, St. Petersburg just managed to cross the line in first, less than one second ahead of Zurich.</p> <p> The University of Zurich and the Federal Institute of Technology of Zurich (ETHZ) went back to the start line one hour later to compete yet again in the "Uni / Poly Rudermatch" men's eight challenge. In the 61st traditional university race that these two establishments have staged annually since 1945, the University of Zurich beat the Federal Institute of Technology to the line, bringing the historical ranking to 24 wins total for the university and 35 for ETHZ.</p> <p> In the 11th running Uni/Poly women's eight today, the Federal Institute of Technology of Zurich beat the University of Zurich, taking the score up to 10 wins for ETHZ and keeping it at one win for the university. The Uni/Poly professors' men's eights race saw the University of Zurich taking the advantage over ETHZ, setting the updated ranking at four wins to three.</p> <p> The 2012 Zurich City Sprints is part of a concept of city sprint regattas intended to develop into a sprint series sanctioned by FISA over the coming years. "Our aim is to bring the sport of rowing to the centre of cities, to the public," explains FISA Executive Director Matt Smith. "By organising the 2012 ZURICH City Sprints, we hope to establish a new, first-class international sports event in Switzerland."</p> <p> In Switzerland, a one-hour highlights programme of the finals will be broadcast nationwide on Star TV on Sunday 30 September from 16-17hrs CST; Switzerland's  national sports channel – Schweizer Sport Fernsehen (SSF) – will show the programme on Monday 1 October (19-20hrs CST), Tuesday 2 October (20-21hrs CST) and Wednesday 3 October (17-18hrs CST).</p> <p> <a>Results</a><br /> <a>Photo Gallery</a></p> </div> </div> <div class="section-inner"> </div>

Perfect for spectator watching, the race course goes through the historical Old Town between two famous bridges, the Quaibrücke and the Rathausbrücke.<br /> Racing <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0UKmnzTEIY&feature=youtu.be"></p> <figure class="archive float-right"><img alt="Zurich" src="/uploads/files/f4e868315a10ee467be4b65d923efa32.jpg"></figure> <p></a>will be in four boat classes, the men’s and women’s single sculls, the lightweight men’s four and the men’s quadruple sculls. There will also be a showcase of university crews racing in the men’s and women’s eights.</p> <p> The Men’s Single Sculls (M1x) features Marcel Hacker of Germany. Hacker comes to Zurich from a sprint racing showcase in Slovenia where he raced against the likes of Slovenia’s greatest rower, Iztok Cop. Hacker also featured well at the London Olympic Games where he raced in the final. Up against competition from three other countries, Hacker may find stiff competition from Mitchel Steenman of the Netherlands. Steenman comes from his country’s Olympic eight but has also spent time in the single. David Jirka of the Czech Republic and David Aregger of Switzerland round out the racing line up.</p> <p> Olympic Champion, Mirka Knapkova of the Czech Republic is the star attraction in the Women’s Single Sculls (W1x). But being the fastest woman in the world over 2000m does not necessarily mean 450m is her forte. Knapkova will face stiff competition from 20-year-old Julia Lier of Germany. Lier is the reigning world under-23 champion.  From the Netherlands Chantal Achterberg is used to going fast as a member of her country’s Olympic eight. In the single she will no doubt harness that same raw power she uses to go fast in the eight. Switzerland’s Jeannine Gmelin is also competing.</p> <p> The Lightweight Men’s Four (LM4-) has entries from the Czech Republic, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland. Both Switzerland and the Netherlands competed in the final at the London Olympic Games – the Swiss finished fifth and the Dutch were sixth. This bodes well for some very tight competition especially as the Czech Republic also raced in London finishing eleventh overall.</p> <p> Switzerland is the only crew that has retained their entire London line up and it is also the same crew since 2010. On the back of such good Olympic results and with the home crowd support, this is likely the crew to beat.</p> <p> Germany is boating a new line up comprised mainly of top under-23 rowers. Despite being their first international race together, they all know each other well as they were part of the selection mix for the Olympic lightweight four.</p> <p> In the Men’s Quadruple Sculls (M4x) it will be hard to look past Germany. This crew is a bounty of talent with their top double scullers, Eric Knittel and Stefan Krueger, straight from the London Olympics, in the boat. Added to the talented mix are Hans Gruhne and Mathias Rocher who have both been part of national team selection for the double. Switzerland, however, will definitely be challengers to the Germans. Just back from racing the quad at the London Olympics, the Swiss boat is led by Andre Vonarburg who has been Switzerland’s best single sculler for the past decade.</p> <p> The Czech Republic is boating a crew that contains mainly a talented bunch of under-23 rowers while the Netherlands has put together a new line up for Zurich which also contains some top under-23 athletes.</p> <p> Racing will begin at 13:00 (CET).</p> <p> For more information see <a>http://www.worldrowing.com/events/2012-zurich-sprints</a></p> </div> </div> <div class="section-inner"> </div> </article> <hr class="post-separator styled-separator is-style-wide section-inner" aria-hidden="true" /> <article class="post-11903 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry" id="post-11903"> <header class="entry-header has-text-align-center"> <div class="entry-header-inner section-inner medium"> <h2 class="entry-title heading-size-1"><a href="https://worldrowing-admin.soticcloud.net/2012/09/27/press-release-world-rowing-launches-new-environmental-section-103682/">PRESS RELEASE: World Rowing launches new environmental section</a></h2> <div class="post-meta-wrapper post-meta-single post-meta-single-top"> <ul class="post-meta"> <li class="post-author meta-wrapper"> <span class="meta-icon"> <span class="screen-reader-text"> Post author </span> <svg class="svg-icon" aria-hidden="true" role="img" focusable="false" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="18" height="20" viewBox="0 0 18 20"><path fill="" d="M18,19 C18,19.5522847 17.5522847,20 17,20 C16.4477153,20 16,19.5522847 16,19 L16,17 C16,15.3431458 14.6568542,14 13,14 L5,14 C3.34314575,14 2,15.3431458 2,17 L2,19 C2,19.5522847 1.55228475,20 1,20 C0.44771525,20 0,19.5522847 0,19 L0,17 C0,14.2385763 2.23857625,12 5,12 L13,12 C15.7614237,12 18,14.2385763 18,17 L18,19 Z M9,10 C6.23857625,10 4,7.76142375 4,5 C4,2.23857625 6.23857625,0 9,0 C11.7614237,0 14,2.23857625 14,5 C14,7.76142375 11.7614237,10 9,10 Z M9,8 C10.6568542,8 12,6.65685425 12,5 C12,3.34314575 10.6568542,2 9,2 C7.34314575,2 6,3.34314575 6,5 C6,6.65685425 7.34314575,8 9,8 Z" /></svg> </span> <span class="meta-text"> By <a href="https://worldrowing-admin.soticcloud.net/author/jmcconnell/">Jonathan MCconnell</a> </span> </li> <li class="post-date meta-wrapper"> <span class="meta-icon"> <span class="screen-reader-text"> Post date </span> <svg class="svg-icon" aria-hidden="true" role="img" focusable="false" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="18" height="19" viewBox="0 0 18 19"><path fill="" d="M4.60069444,4.09375 L3.25,4.09375 C2.47334957,4.09375 1.84375,4.72334957 1.84375,5.5 L1.84375,7.26736111 L16.15625,7.26736111 L16.15625,5.5 C16.15625,4.72334957 15.5266504,4.09375 14.75,4.09375 L13.3993056,4.09375 L13.3993056,4.55555556 C13.3993056,5.02154581 13.0215458,5.39930556 12.5555556,5.39930556 C12.0895653,5.39930556 11.7118056,5.02154581 11.7118056,4.55555556 L11.7118056,4.09375 L6.28819444,4.09375 L6.28819444,4.55555556 C6.28819444,5.02154581 5.9104347,5.39930556 5.44444444,5.39930556 C4.97845419,5.39930556 4.60069444,5.02154581 4.60069444,4.55555556 L4.60069444,4.09375 Z M6.28819444,2.40625 L11.7118056,2.40625 L11.7118056,1 C11.7118056,0.534009742 12.0895653,0.15625 12.5555556,0.15625 C13.0215458,0.15625 13.3993056,0.534009742 13.3993056,1 L13.3993056,2.40625 L14.75,2.40625 C16.4586309,2.40625 17.84375,3.79136906 17.84375,5.5 L17.84375,15.875 C17.84375,17.5836309 16.4586309,18.96875 14.75,18.96875 L3.25,18.96875 C1.54136906,18.96875 0.15625,17.5836309 0.15625,15.875 L0.15625,5.5 C0.15625,3.79136906 1.54136906,2.40625 3.25,2.40625 L4.60069444,2.40625 L4.60069444,1 C4.60069444,0.534009742 4.97845419,0.15625 5.44444444,0.15625 C5.9104347,0.15625 6.28819444,0.534009742 6.28819444,1 L6.28819444,2.40625 Z M1.84375,8.95486111 L1.84375,15.875 C1.84375,16.6516504 2.47334957,17.28125 3.25,17.28125 L14.75,17.28125 C15.5266504,17.28125 16.15625,16.6516504 16.15625,15.875 L16.15625,8.95486111 L1.84375,8.95486111 Z" /></svg> </span> <span class="meta-text"> <a href="https://worldrowing-admin.soticcloud.net/2012/09/27/press-release-world-rowing-launches-new-environmental-section-103682/">September 27, 2012</a> </span> </li> </ul> </div> </div> </header> <div class="post-inner thin "> <div class="entry-content"> <p>The new “Clean Water Video”, produced jointly by World Rowing and WWF, is a main feature of this new sub-site.

It also gives rowing clubs the opportunity to share their story on how they have positively impacted their rowing environment. Links to World Rowing publications including the updated Environmental Sustainability Guidelines Policy and other guidelines are also provided. And, most importantly, this new environmental web page gives suggestions on how rowers can become an active part of the “Clean Water Movement”.  </p> <p> FISA – the World Rowing Federation, and WWF, the World Wide Fund for Nature, have been partners for the promotion of Clean Water since the spring of 2011. The aim of this strategic alliance is to educate rowers and fans about the importance of the sport to the global environment. The alliance is also about establishing new best practices in sustainable sports event management and making environmental impact a more significant criterion in the event-bidding process; we have a responsibility to take to ensure that rowing events do not have a negative impact on the water courses.</p> <p> Speaking on behalf of World Rowing, FISA President Denis Oswald said: “Rowers have an intimate and intense relationship with water. Naturally, they are interested in ensuring that the water bodies on which they row are protected and maintained, not just for their own use, but for the many other groups and communities who also rely upon it. This new Clean Water video illustrates our relationship with water and, our new environmental web-section features a “Call for Action” to all those in the Rowing World who want to improve the aquatic habitat on which they conduct their sport.  We are convinced that this strategic alliance with WWF International is the most effective way that we can help raise global awareness for the need to preserve this most precious resource.”</p> <p> Stuart Orr, Freshwater Manager, WWF International said: “The rivers and the lakes where competitions are held are an integral part of much larger, often threatened, ecosystems. To be able to work in an innovative way with FISA allows us to be able to reach new key audiences who can help us to deliver on our conservation goals.</p> <p> WWF is the world’s largest and most respected independent nature conservation organisation, with more than 5 million supporters and a network active in more than 100 countries across all continents. One of the main priorities of WWF is to protect freshwater ecosystems and improve water access, efficiency, and allocation for people and the environment, which is why our partnership is a perfect fit in promoting clean water.</p> </div> </div> <div class="section-inner"> </div> </article> <hr class="post-separator styled-separator is-style-wide section-inner" aria-hidden="true" /> <article class="post-11904 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry" id="post-11904"> <header class="entry-header has-text-align-center"> <div class="entry-header-inner section-inner medium"> <h2 class="entry-title heading-size-1"><a href="https://worldrowing-admin.soticcloud.net/2012/09/21/rowing-boats-handover-ceremony/">Rowing boats handover ceremony</a></h2> <div class="post-meta-wrapper post-meta-single post-meta-single-top"> <ul class="post-meta"> <li class="post-author meta-wrapper"> <span class="meta-icon"> <span class="screen-reader-text"> Post author </span> <svg class="svg-icon" aria-hidden="true" role="img" focusable="false" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="18" height="20" viewBox="0 0 18 20"><path fill="" d="M18,19 C18,19.5522847 17.5522847,20 17,20 C16.4477153,20 16,19.5522847 16,19 L16,17 C16,15.3431458 14.6568542,14 13,14 L5,14 C3.34314575,14 2,15.3431458 2,17 L2,19 C2,19.5522847 1.55228475,20 1,20 C0.44771525,20 0,19.5522847 0,19 L0,17 C0,14.2385763 2.23857625,12 5,12 L13,12 C15.7614237,12 18,14.2385763 18,17 L18,19 Z M9,10 C6.23857625,10 4,7.76142375 4,5 C4,2.23857625 6.23857625,0 9,0 C11.7614237,0 14,2.23857625 14,5 C14,7.76142375 11.7614237,10 9,10 Z M9,8 C10.6568542,8 12,6.65685425 12,5 C12,3.34314575 10.6568542,2 9,2 C7.34314575,2 6,3.34314575 6,5 C6,6.65685425 7.34314575,8 9,8 Z" /></svg> </span> <span class="meta-text"> By <a href="https://worldrowing-admin.soticcloud.net/author/jmcconnell/">Jonathan MCconnell</a> </span> </li> <li class="post-date meta-wrapper"> <span class="meta-icon"> <span class="screen-reader-text"> Post date </span> <svg class="svg-icon" aria-hidden="true" role="img" focusable="false" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="18" height="19" viewBox="0 0 18 19"><path fill="" d="M4.60069444,4.09375 L3.25,4.09375 C2.47334957,4.09375 1.84375,4.72334957 1.84375,5.5 L1.84375,7.26736111 L16.15625,7.26736111 L16.15625,5.5 C16.15625,4.72334957 15.5266504,4.09375 14.75,4.09375 L13.3993056,4.09375 L13.3993056,4.55555556 C13.3993056,5.02154581 13.0215458,5.39930556 12.5555556,5.39930556 C12.0895653,5.39930556 11.7118056,5.02154581 11.7118056,4.55555556 L11.7118056,4.09375 L6.28819444,4.09375 L6.28819444,4.55555556 C6.28819444,5.02154581 5.9104347,5.39930556 5.44444444,5.39930556 C4.97845419,5.39930556 4.60069444,5.02154581 4.60069444,4.55555556 L4.60069444,4.09375 Z M6.28819444,2.40625 L11.7118056,2.40625 L11.7118056,1 C11.7118056,0.534009742 12.0895653,0.15625 12.5555556,0.15625 C13.0215458,0.15625 13.3993056,0.534009742 13.3993056,1 L13.3993056,2.40625 L14.75,2.40625 C16.4586309,2.40625 17.84375,3.79136906 17.84375,5.5 L17.84375,15.875 C17.84375,17.5836309 16.4586309,18.96875 14.75,18.96875 L3.25,18.96875 C1.54136906,18.96875 0.15625,17.5836309 0.15625,15.875 L0.15625,5.5 C0.15625,3.79136906 1.54136906,2.40625 3.25,2.40625 L4.60069444,2.40625 L4.60069444,1 C4.60069444,0.534009742 4.97845419,0.15625 5.44444444,0.15625 C5.9104347,0.15625 6.28819444,0.534009742 6.28819444,1 L6.28819444,2.40625 Z M1.84375,8.95486111 L1.84375,15.875 C1.84375,16.6516504 2.47334957,17.28125 3.25,17.28125 L14.75,17.28125 C15.5266504,17.28125 16.15625,16.6516504 16.15625,15.875 L16.15625,8.95486111 L1.84375,8.95486111 Z" /></svg> </span> <span class="meta-text"> <a href="https://worldrowing-admin.soticcloud.net/2012/09/21/rowing-boats-handover-ceremony/">September 21, 2012</a> </span> </li> </ul> </div> </div> </header> <div class="post-inner thin "> <div class="entry-content"> <p> Donated by FISA, the International Rowing Federation, 10 boats, for both adaptive and able-bodied rowers, were given to the Kenya Rowing and Canoe Association.

class="entry-content"> <p> Frenchman, Hedrich is a self-professed adventurer. Rowing the Atlantic is just one of the many adventures that he has completed. It was 2007 and Hedrich set a speed record on completion. This time Hedrich says he is not going for speed. “My goal this time is to be the first to go both ways". Hedrich set out from Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon (on the south coast of Newfoundland) on 9 July 2012 and on his 67th day at sea he spoke to World Rowing from the Atlantic, about 400 miles from the Canary Islands. </p> <figure class="archive float-right"><img alt="1" src="/uploads/files/12853933edffe5741f69f5f52b88a394.jpg"><figcaption>OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA</figcaption></figure> <p> After heading east across the Atlantic, Hedrich will travel down the coast of Europe and go via the Canary Islands before heading west, back across the Atlantic to finish in the Caribbean. “At the Canary Islands I will not stop,” says Hedrich, “The goal is to put one Island on my right.” But Hedrich will be met at sea by family, sponsors and journalists before heading back out to the Atlantic Ocean.</p> <p> Unlike many ocean rowers Hedrich does not follow a daily routine, relying on the weather conditions to dictate what he does. “I have no routine at all because sometimes it’s impossible to row when the wind is too strong, when there’s more than 25 knots and the sea is too bad for rowing. Then I use a para-anchor (sea anchor) and I wait,” says Hedrich. “The second situation is when it’s not very useful to row – when the weather is absolutely perfect, like 18 knots from the back pushing you along. When there is no wind and no current it’s absolutely vital to row and sometimes I will row 15 to 16 hours per day”.</p> <p> Hedrich started out with 180 days worth of food, “So I can live on my own for six months,” he says. At present he is slightly faster than predicted, expecting to be at the Canary Islands about 10 days faster than planned. </p> <figure class="archive float-left"><img alt="2" src="/uploads/files/0b7b334c8702a6e13d52347d52fc18fa.jpg"><figcaption>Daphn茅 Soucha of the French Junior Women’s Double Sculls poses for her portrait at the 2011 Junior World Rowing Championships in Eton, Britain</figcaption></figure> <p> After a month and a half at sea Hedrich says his hands are standing up very well to the lifestyle, but his bottom is “another kettle of fish.” As Hedrich is rowing in a two-person boat it means that he can swap from one seat to another. “Each seat is in a different position which helps”.</p> <p> So far on this trip Hedrich has seen a lot of dolphins and some whales and had one close encounter with the big ship. This happened while Hedrich was sleeping and he came outside to see the boat moving slowly beside him. Hedrich called the boat on his phone. “It turned out the boat had come to me because they thought I was in distress”.</p> <p> Hedrich has been doing adventures for the last 10 years including Paris to Dakar on a motorbike, round the world non-stop solo sailing, climbing Mt Everest as well as Arctic and Antarctic crossings.</p> <figure class="archive float-right"><img alt="3" src="/uploads/files/b7886190e52606435c8fb1c36c22113d.jpg"><figcaption>Daphn茅 Soucha of the French Junior Women’s Double Sculls poses for her portrait at the 2011 Junior World Rowing Championships in Eton, Britain</figcaption></figure> <p>On this current trip Hedrich says the hardest day so far has been when his boat was turned up-side-down in 45 knot conditions. The boat then righted itself and Hedrich says the whole experience was relatively quick. “I didn’t lose anything except a front light,” he says.</p> <p> Once on an adventure Hedrich says he doesn’t really miss anything from regular life. “Once I make a decision about a new adventure, I concentrate on the target 100 per cent,” says Hedrich. “The only thing important to me is to put everything on the table to complete the adventure".<br />  <br /> As for luxuries on board Hedrich has books on a tablet (but admits he doesn’t have much time to read) and music. “At the last moment I got the phone from my oldest son, so it’s not my music, it’s his music.

Romania’s Camelia Lupascu and Nicoleta Albu made it a double header by medalling in both the women’s pair and the women’s quadruple sculls. Croatia’s men’s quad, split into the men’s double and men’s single medalled in both events and Italy finished the day with the highest count on the medals table.</p> <p> Read on for more action at the European Rowing Championships.</p> <p> <strong>Women’s Pair (W2-) – Final</strong><br /> There was little doubt that the favourites in this race were the reigning and two-time European Champions, Camelia Lupascu and Nicoleta Albu of Romania. Lupascu and Albu won by a huge margin two days ago in the heats and they sat in the middle lane of the first final of the day. Already with just 250m rowed Lupascu and Albu looked like they were going to dominate this race. The rest of the field would have to fight for silver and Croatia’s Sonja Keserac and Maja Anic had the best chance of this as they came out in second place. </p> <figure class="archive float-left"><img alt="_O4N2415" src="/uploads/files/14b87c6338c9bd1733f3d2c05a7639f7.jpg"><figcaption>Matteo Mulas (s), Leone Barbaro, Francesco Pegoraro and Claudio Provenzano (b) of Italy can scarcely believe it as they cross the line of the under-23 lightweight men’s quadruple sculls final in first place at the 2012 World Rowing Under 23 Championships in Trakai, Lithuania.</figcaption></figure> <p> By the middle of the race Lupascu and Albu had an open-water lead. They come to Varese after racing to fourth in the women’s eight at the London Olympic Games. Keserac and Anic, who tried to qualify for London earlier this season, remained in second but with Great Britain moving on them strongly. Then Italy came charging through. Claudia Wurzel and Sara Bertolasi finished tenth in London and they are known for their very strong closing sprint.</p> <p> At the line Lupascu and Albu had defended their European Championship title. This gives them the title for the third straight year. Great Britain’s Caragh McMurtry and Olivia Carnegie-Brown (this year’s silver medallists at the under-23 level) overtook Croatia to take second with the Croatians finishing in bronze medal position. Lupascu and Albu would race again later today in the A-final of the women’s quadruple sculls.<br /> <span><em>Results: <strong>ROU, GBR, CRO</strong>, ITA, UKR, TUR</em></span></p> <p> <em><span><strong>Nicoleta Albu (ROU) – Gold</strong><br /> “We are really happy about his result.

Nevertheless I think we will still have enough energy for our race in the eight later this afternoon.”</p> <p> <strong>Maja Anic (CRO) – Bronze</strong><br /> “Our race was good. We are happy with the result. We have been rowing together for four years now.”</span></em></p> <p> <strong>B-Final</strong><br /> Coming at the back of the field in yesterday’s repechage meant racing in today’s B-final for the Czech Republic and Belarus. Martina Stillerova and Katerina Kopecka of the Czech Republic finished fourth at this year’s World Rowing Under 23 Championships and they had a huge lead over Belarus for the entire 2000m. Rating 32 through the body of the race Stillerova and Kopecka finished a full 19 seconds in the lead.<br /> <span><em><span>Results: CZE, BLR</span></em></span></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Women’s Double Sculls (W2x) – Final</strong><br /> It was Denmark that had a very fast start, but they were not able to hold it and by the first 500m mark Tatsiana Kukhta and Katsiaryna Shliupskaya of Belarus were in the lead. Belarus had the fastest qualifying time from the heats two days ago and they continued to lead through the middle of the race. Kukhta and Shliupskaya finished third this year in the double at the under-23 level and they were being followed by Italy’s Giulia Pollini and Giada Colombo. Pollini won bronze at this year’s World Rowing Senior & Junior Championships in the lightweight women’s quadruple sculls. </p> <figure class="archive float-right"><img alt="IMG_5395" src="/uploads/files/b69858f5f5dc708693569c3302342eee.jpg"><figcaption>Tatsiana Kukhta (b) and Katsiaryna Shliupskaya (s) of Belarus celebrate winning gold in the women’s double sculls at the 2012 European Rowing Championships in Varese, Italy</figcaption></figure> <p> Then Romania did a huge piece that brought them ahead of Italy and closer to the leading Belarusians. It was all on for the final sprint. The crowd was going wild as Pollini and Colombo took up their rating and gave it their all to get back into second. At the line Kukhta and Shliupskaya had become the European Champions and, much to the crowd’s delight, the Italians had finished second with Romania’s Maria Diana Bursuc and Adelina Cojocariu earning bronze.

We are normally in different categories – I used to row as lightweight.”</span></em></p> <p> <strong>B-Final</strong><br /> Ukraine’s Anna Kravchenko and Olena Buryak just missed out on making the final in yesterday’s repechage and coming the Varese directly from finishing tenth at the London Olympics showed their class. Today Kravchenko and Buryak led the way through the middle of the race and into the final sprint. But in an amazingly close finish, Hungary’s Katalin Szabo and Krisztina Gyimes pipped the Ukrainians at the line.<br /> <span><em>Results: HUN, UKR, GER, GRE</em></span><br />  </p> <p> <strong>Men’s Four (M4-) – Final</strong><br /> Greece had a really good heat two days ago to earn a spot in today’s final and the line-up included Nikolaos and Apostolos Gkountoulas, Georgios Tziallas and Ioannis Christou. Greece are the reigning European Champions and they got away very quickly in this final. But by the half-way point Romania had earned an incredibly tiny lead over Greece. The Romanians finished twelfth at the London Olympics. They finished second to Greece in the heats. </p> <figure class="archive float-left"><img alt="IMG_5427" src="/uploads/files/62f7926665e2f7fc5c9af74d38529a73.jpg"><figcaption>Serbia and Greece pose for the camera together after winning medals in the men’s four at the 2012 European Rowing Championships in Varese, Italy</figcaption></figure> <p> Romania continued to lead coming into the final sprint with Serbia now threatening Greece’s second place spot. The margins were close and the ratings were rising as these six crews sprinted for the line. With 250m left to row the Greeks gave it their all. Romania tried to hold on with Serbia giving it their all. At the line Greece had defended their European Championship title with Romania settling for silver and Serbia earning the bronze.<br /> <span><em>Results: GRE, ROU, SRB, ESP, BLR, FRA</em></span></p> <p> <em><span><strong>Nikolas Gkountoulas (GRE) – Gold</strong><br /> “In London we rowed in the pair (with brother Apostolas) so this is the first time we have rowed together in this combination."</span></em></p> <p> <em><span><strong>Florin Curuea (ROU) – Silver</strong><br /> “We are happy with the result. For me these are the first European Champs, the others from my team have rowed on ECH before. It was actually nice to row again against the Greeks since we raced each other at the Olympics in London.”</span></em></p> <p> <strong>B-Final</strong><br /> Slovenia got off to a good start but margins were close as these five boats headed for the half-way point. Slovenia kept the pressure on, doing two big pushes before the middle of the race to get a two-second lead over Croatia in second, with the rest of the field forming a virtual line. Slovenia pushed on, leaving Croatia to try and attack from second. At the line Slovenia had nicely held on to first.<br /> <span><em>Results: SLO, CRO, ITA, TUR, NED</em></span><br />  </p> <p> <strong>Men’s Pair (M2-) – Final</strong><br /> The Netherlands and Spain won their respective heats two days ago and at the start Rogier Blink and Mitchel Steenman of the Netherlands had the best start. Blink and Steenman finished fifth at the London Olympics in the eight and they were considered somewhat the favourites coming into this event. Spain followed the Dutch in second with Great Britain really close to the Spanish. Spain’s Alexander Sigurbjonsson Benet and Pau Vela Maggi, who just missed out on qualifying for the Olympics earlier this year, kept their stroke rate high and managed to move a little away from Great Britain with Blink and Steenman still in the lead.</p> <p> As the last 500m came into view Blink and Steenman remained the ones to beat with Sigurbjonsson Benet and Vela Maggi now under threat from Serbia’s Nenad Bedik and Nikola Stojic. The Spanish fought hard and at the line had held on to silver with the Dutch getting gold.<br /> <span><em>Results: NED, ESP, SRB, GBR, POL, HUN </em></span></p> <p> <span><b>Mitchel Steenman (M2-) – NED – Gold</b><br /> <i>"London was a nice experience it was great to win here straight after it.

After the first half we tried to give everything but we were pretty tired from the race yesterday."</i></span></p> <p> <strong>B-Final</strong><br /> Greece and Italy took off together at the head of the field matching each other through the first half of the race. Yesterday these two crews had raced in the same repechage with Italy getting the better of Greece at the line. Today, Greece’s crew of Konstantinos Christomoanos and Apostolos Lampridis looked to be exacting revenge. But by the middle of the race Giuseppe De Vita and Andrea Palmisano of Italy had earned the lead leaving Greece to deal with the charging Ukraine and Russia.</p> <p> Once in the lead De Vita and Palmisano moved away from the rest of the field and at the finish they had won by a full four seconds over Greece who had held on to second.<br /> <span><em>Results: ITA, GRE, UKR, RUS, BUL</em></span><br />  </p> <p> <strong>Men’s Double Sculls (M2x) – Final</strong><br /> This race was full of talent with four athletes that took silver at the London Olympic Games racing here – Italy in the double and Croatia in the quadruple sculls. At the start brothers Valent and Martin Sinkovic of Croatia had the lead with Poland’s Konrad Wasielewski and Wiktor Chabel sitting in second while Italy’s Alessio Sartori and Romano Battisti sat back in fourth. </p> <figure class="archive float-left"><img alt="_O4N2559" src="/uploads/files/89ec35e6a0d0d72e568c9a12c688b25c.jpg"><figcaption>Martin Sinkovic (b) and Valent Sinkovic (s) of Croatia celebrate winning gold in the men’s double sculls at the 2012 European Rowing Championships in Varese, Italy</figcaption></figure> <p> The Sinkovic brothers were still in the lead coming into the final sprint with Sartori and Battisti moving through and passing Poland to get into second with Norway’s Nils Jakob Hoff and Kjetil Borch now in third. Hoff and Borch raced at the London Olympics where they finished seventh and they are known for their very fast finish.</p> <p> The crowd was now urging in Sartori and Battisti as the last 250m came into view. Could Croatia hold them off? The pace was aggressive and the stroke rates were high. At the line Croatia had done it – they had become European Champions in the double. Italy held on to the silver and Norway took bronze.<br /> <span><em>Results: CRO, ITA, NOR, LTU, SRB, POL</em></span></p> <p> <b>Martin SINKOVIC (M2x) – CRO – Gold</b><br /> <i>"For us it’s perfect to row together as brothers.

We have given 100% all the way through. Alessio and I have shared so much joy and so much pain together. The level in Europe has increased quiet a lot.

But it was Russia that had the lead at the start with Ukraine slipping to third by the half-way point. Russia continued to press on as the Czech Republic seemed to try and get into the lead. The margins between the entire field then closed up and with 500m left to race the top four boats had just one and a half seconds separating them.</p> <p> In a huge sprint to the finish Russia’s Dmitry Khmylnin and Denis Pribyl managed to just hold on to first in a photo finish with Ukraine.<br /> <span><em>Results: RUS, UKR, EST, BEL, CZE, FRA</em></span><br />  </p> <p> <strong>Lightweight Women’s Double Sculls (LW2x) – Final</strong><br /> The Italians Laura Milani and Elisabetta Sancassani had a great race two days ago in the heats and recorded the fastest time. This made this new Italian combination the favourites for today. But it was Greece’s Christina Giazitzidou and Alexandra Tsiavou that got out to an early lead. Giazitzidou and Tsiavou won bronze at the London Olympics and then Tsiavou went on to become a World Champion yet again in the lightweight women’s single sculls at the World Rowing Senior & Junior Championships last month. </p> <figure class="archive float-right"><img alt="IMG_5475" src="/uploads/files/12d1c3d139b21954438ca2799cc0ad10.jpg"><figcaption>Christina Giazitzidou of Greece (l), Elisabetta Sancassani and Laura Milani of Italy and Ruth Walczak and Imogen Walsh of Great Britain on the podium of the lightweight women’s double sculls at the 2012 European Rowing Championships in Varese, Italy</figcaption></figure> <p> As the half-way point came into view Greece had managed to pull away to a full boat length lead with Italy now in second having overtaken Poland after a huge 36 stroke rate piece. Greece saw this attack and took their stroke rate up a pip in case the Italians got any closer. But Milani and former heavyweight rower Sancassani had more to give as they closed in on the Greeks. The crowd was brought to their feet as Milani and Sancassani took their stroke rate to 39 to move in on Greece.</p> <p> At the line Milani and Sancassani had done it. They had won gold. Greece had to settle for silver with Ruth Walczak and Imogen Walsh earning bronze.<br /> <span><em>Results: ITA, GRE, GBR, POL, BLR, AUT</em></span></p> <p> <span><b>Elisabetta Sancassani (LW2x) – ITA – Gold</b><br /> <i>"We knew that Greece would be very strong but during the last 1000 meters we just accelerated the pace as much as we could.

Olga Arkadova and Natalia Varfolomeeva of Russia were fourth at last year’s European Rowing Championships and they must be disappointed to be racing the B-final today. But they made the best of it and raced their own race at the head of the field. Russia had nearly a 20-second lead at the finish over Israel in second.<br /> <span><em>Results: RUS, ISR, UKR</em></span><br />  </p> <p> <strong>Lightweight Men’s Double Sculls (LM2x) – Final</strong><br /> Portugal’s Pedro Fraga and Nuno Mendes have been looking great throughout this regatta. The London Olympic fifth place finishers won their heat two days ago and then won their semifinal yesterday. But in the semi, Portugal was only slightly ahead of Greece and today Greece’s Pangiotis Magdanis and Spyridon Giannaros had the lead at the start with Great Britain following very closely in second. </p> <figure class="archive float-left"><img alt="DSC_8613" src="/uploads/files/7014319dd541fda97f013ec0a4f803f5.jpg"><figcaption>Pedro Fraga (l) and Nuno Mendes (r) of Portugal celebrate winning silver in the lightweight men’s double sculls at the 2012 European Rowing Championships in Varese, Italy</figcaption></figure> <p> Fraga and Mendes then made a move, overtaking Great Britain and closing in on Greece. The margins between the entire field were slim however and at the half-way point only two and a half seconds separated the entire six-boat fleet. Greece then did a piece going through the 1,250m mark and managed to move just a little away from Portugal. Both Greece and Portugal have very good sprints and the race, with 500m to go, would no doubt be spectacular.</p> <p> At the line Greece had just held off Portugal with Great Britain inching into bronze just 7/100th of a second ahead of Austria.<br /> <span><em><span>Results: GRE, POR, GBR, AUT, FRA, UKR</span></em></span></p> <p> <span><b>Panagiotis Magdanis (LM2x) – GRE – Gold</b><br /> <i>"The race was good and we are happy about the medal."</i></span></p> <p> <strong>B-Final</strong><br /> Slovakia finished as the slowest crew in yesterday’s semifinal. They must have been saving themselves for today as Richard Vanco and Lukas Babac of Slovakia shot out into the lead at the start. But margins were close and going through the middle of the race there were only two seconds between the top five boats. Slovakia, who tried to qualify for the London Olympics earlier this year, held a small leading margin over Poland in second.</p> <p> Coming into the last 500m of the race the tightness had not changed and only one and a half seconds separated the top five boats with Bulgaria charging through into second. Stroke rates were rising and at the line Zlatko Karaivanov and Vassil Vitanov of Bulgaria had won in a photo finish with Slovakia.<br /> <span><em>Results: BUL, SVK, GER, POL, RUS, ITA</em></span><br />  </p> <p> <strong>Lightweight Men’s Four (LM4-) Final</strong><br /> A storming start by Great Britain propelled them to the first 500m marker ahead of the field. This was unexpected as the fastest boat from Friday’s heat was Italy with Great Britain having to qualify for the final through yesterday’s repechage. At the half-way point Great Britain still had the lead with Italy trying to close in. </p> <figure class="archive float-right"><img alt="DSC_8888" src="/uploads/files/6cf5a835c3ffb4feb6541a1cbfe384f2.jpg"><figcaption>Luca de Maria, Martino Goretti, Petru Zaharia and Armando dell’Aquilla of Italy celebrate winning gold in the lightweight men’s four at the 2012 European Rowing Championships in Varese, Italy</figcaption></figure> <p> The Italian line-up included the World Champion lightweight men’s pair, a London Olympian and a 2012 under-23 champion. Italy won this event last year at the European Championships. In the third 500m Italy upped their stroke rate and overtook the British with Poland sitting in third. But Great Britain had not given up. As Italy took their stroke rate to 41, Great Britain upped theirs to 39 and held on.</p> <p> Meanwhile, Serbia was giving it their all to get into the medals. As the crowd cheered on Italy to a gold medal win, Serbia sprinted past Poland to take the bronze with Great Britain retaining silver.<br /> <span><em>Results: ITA, GBR, SRB, POL, GER, RUS</em></span></p> <p> <span><b>Luca de Maria (LM4-) – ITA – Gold</b><br /> <i>"We haven’t rowed together before so this is our first competition in this combination.

They scored the fastest qualifying time in yesterday’s semifinals. And it was Estonia – Jamsa, Raja, Endrekson and Taimsoo – who had the early lead. Slovenia had also been having a great regatta here in Varese and they slotted into second. </p> <figure class="archive float-left"><img alt="IMG_5545" src="/uploads/files/f6a5403e3ad33478051b9069c4840806.jpg"><figcaption>Ukraine, Estonia and Slovenia on the podium for the men’s quadruple sculls at the 2012 European Rowing Championships in Varese, Italy</figcaption></figure> <p> Through the middle of the race Estonia cleared a boat length’s lead over Slovenia who remained in second with Russia pressing hard to get up to Slovenia. Slovenia is a mixture crew and includes Jernej Markovc who last month won world silver in the junior men’s single sculls.</p> <p> As the final sprint came into view, Estonia had worked to an open-water lead with Slovenia still clinging on to second over Russia. Unfortunately for the Italian crowd, Italy was at the back of the field in sixth. At the line Estonia had finished their 2012 season with a European Championship gold medal. Ukraine came storming through to snatch the silver off Slovenia. Slovenia had to be satisfied with bronze.<br /> <span><em>Results: EST, UKR, SLO, RUS, CZE, ITA</em></span></p> <p> <span><b>Kaspar Taimsoo (M4x) – EST – Gold</b><br /> <i>"We won and it is pretty satisfying to, especially after our fourth place finish in London.

It’s great to have this medal, aswe have been training together only for three weeks.</i></span></p> <p> <strong>B-Final</strong><br /> It was extremely tight through the first half of the race with Great Britain holding an ever-so-small margin in the lead. Great Britain was the fastest of these crews from yesterday’s semifinals and they continued to lead coming into the final sprint. But Romania was very close and these boats were going to have to give it their all in the last 400m. In an incredibly close finish Great Britain had managed to retain the lead with Romania and Poland practically crossing the line together.<br /> <span><em>Results: GBR, ROU, POL, DEN, FRA, AUT</em></span></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Men’s Single Sculls (M1x) – Final</strong><br /> After yesterday’s semifinals this event looked like it was going to be a battle between the reigning European Champion Mindaugas Griskonis of Lithuania and Belgium’s Olympian Tim Maeyens. Griskonis got off to a very good start while Maeyens was left at the back of the field. Maeyens is known for his ability to come back from behind so this position was no surprise. </p> <figure class="archive float-right"><img alt="_O4N2832" src="/uploads/files/24a7becbe92d74533314a572e41fee01.jpg"><figcaption>Mindaugas Griskonis of Lithuania with his gold medal from the men’s single sculls at the 2012 European Rowing Championships in Varese, Italy</figcaption></figure> <p> Georgi Bozhilov of Bulgaria settled into second behind Griskonis while Griskonis increased his leading position to a solid boat length. Maeyens, meanwhile, had worked his way into fourth and was continuing to move on the field. Croatia’s Damir Martin, directly from a silver medal in London in the quad, had now moved into a medal position overtaking Great Britain and then Bulgaria to be in second. Griskonis still had a very handy lead leaving a real fight on for the lesser medals.</p> <p> In the sprint to the line Griskonis finished off a classy race by successfully defending his European Champion title, but only with a very slight margin over Martin who came storming through to finish just 7/100th of a second behind Griskonis. Bozhilov held on to third to take the bronze medal, a big improvement on his seventh place finish a year ago.<br /> <span><em>Results: LTU, CRO, BUL, GBR, BEL, HUN</em></span></p> <p> <b>Mindaugas Griskonis (M1x) – LTU – Gold</b><br /> <i>"This race was very hard – the other rowers were just so strong.

The second half of the race was much better than the first!"</i></p> <p> <strong>B-Final</strong><br /> Switzerland had the fastest time of this group from yesterday’s semifinals but it was Israel who had the early lead in this B-final. By the first 500m mark, though, Andraz Krek of Slovenia had managed to get into the lead. Then the 2012 junior champion in the single, Michal Plocek, 18, of the Czech Republic pushed ahead and led the field through the middle of the race. Plocek, rating 29 and using long, strong strokes still held the lead. But with 250m left to row Krek pushed back and got in front. But Plocek had more to give and regained the lead with Israel’s Dani Fridman charging through to grab second.<br /> <span><em>Results: CZE, ISR, SLO, SUI, SVK, LAT</em></span><br />  </p> <p> <strong>Women’s Single Sculls (W1x) – Final</strong><br /> Coming through to this final Donata Vistartaite of Lithuania was looking in a very good position with the fastest qualifying time from yesterday’s semifinals. Vistartaite also had the best finishing result from the 2012 Olympic Games of all of the boats in this A-final, having finished in eighth place in London. Vistartaite got off the line quickly and reached the first 500m marker in first. Estonia’s Kaisa Pajusalu followed in second. This leading order did not change coming into the half-way point with Vistartaite extending her lead slightly over Pajusalu. </p> <figure class="archive float-left"><img alt="IMG_5561" src="/uploads/files/7bfc211daee88810767244132fca5b37.jpg"><figcaption>Damir Martin (l) of Croatia, Mindaugas Griskonis of Lithuania and Georgi Bozhilov (r) of Bulgaria on the podium for the men’s single sculls at the 2012 European Rowing Championships in Varese, Italy</figcaption></figure> <p> Pajusalu tried to qualify for the London Olympics earlier this year at the Final Olympic Qualification Regatta, and is now here in Varese aiming for a medal. Serbia’s Iva Obradovic, who had also attempted to qualify for the London Olympics, was now in third and challenging for second place.</p> <p> At the line Vistartaite had won the European Championship title and made it a double header for Lithuania with a win in both the women’s and men’s single sculls. Obradovic had sprinted past Pajusalu to take second and Pajusalu earned the bronze medal.<br /> <span><em>Results: LTU, SRB, EST, RUS, NOR, BUL</em></span></p> <p> <span><b>Donata Vistartaite (W1x) – LTU – Gold</b><br /> <i>"The race was difficult and tough.

Lier took off at the head of the field but by the middle of the race Italy’s Laura Schiavone had moved up and into the lead. Schiavone has spent most of her international career in the double and at last year’s European Championships, Schiavone finished fourth in the double.</p> <p> Schiavone continued to lead as these boats came into the final sprint with Latvia’s Elza Gulbe being the closest challenger. Schiavone, however, hung onto the lead to finish seventh overall at these European Rowing Championships.<br /> <span><em>Results: ITA, LAT, UKR, GER, FIN, DEN</em></span></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Women’s Quadruple Sculls (W4x) – Final</strong><br /> In the heats two days ago Poland and Ukraine each won their respective heats but in almost identical times. This race could well turn into a Polish – Ukrainian tussle. But it was Austria that burst out at the start. Could they maintain this pace? Then Romania moved up, but by the first 500m marker Ukraine, the Olympic and European Champions, had worked their way into the lead. This Ukrainian boat is only one person different from the Olympic boat and their lead moved to a couple of seconds over Poland and Romania. </p> <figure class="archive float-right"><img alt="IMG_5548" src="/uploads/files/22db85c48603fb3d0ff50bcbbca9e5e8.jpg"><figcaption>Andrej Jamsa (l), Allar Raja, Tonu Endrekson and Kaspar Taimsoo (l) of Estonia celebrate gold in the men’s quadruple sculls at the 2012 European Rowing Championships in Varese, Italy</figcaption></figure> <p> In the Romanian boat were Camelia Lupascu and Nicoleta Albu who had already raced earlier today when they won the women’s pair in a dominating fashion. Ukraine, rating 34, remained in the lead as the final 500m came into view. Ukraine continued to push home with Poland, Romania and now Russia doing battle for the lesser medals. At the line Ukraine had successfully defended their European Championship title with Poland (who were eighth at the London Olympics) in the silver position and Romania earning the bronze.<br /> <span><em>Results: <strong>UKR, POL, ROU</strong>, RUS, AUT, NED</em></span></p> <p> <span><b>Nataliya Dovgodko (W4x) – UKR – Gold</b><br /> <i>"This is great.

We stuck to our race plan and it worked. We are happy about the result."</i></span></p> <p> <strong>B-Final</strong><br /> The French crew included three crew members that raced in the A-final at last year’s European Rowing Championships but today they contended the B-final as the fastest boat of these crews from yesterday’s repechage. Through the first half of the race France held the lead over Sweden who was chasing hard. These two countries went head to head right to the line. France won but by a very slim margin over Sweden.<br /> <span><em>Results: FRA, SWE, ITA</em></span></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Women's Eight (W8+) – Final</strong><br /> The preliminary race two days ago had the reigning European Champions Romania win handily. Could any crews move on the Romanians today? Romania has won at every European Rowing Championships since the regatta was re-installed in 2007. Coxed by Talida-Teodora Gidoiu and including the great multi-Olympic Champions Georgeta Andrunache and Viorica Susanu, Romania already had the clear lead with 200m rowed. Ukraine followed in second with Belarus matching Ukraine, but back a bit in third. </p> <figure class="archive float-left"><img alt="DSC_9032" src="/uploads/files/5d17243cee73364f99cbea412afba7b4.jpg"><figcaption>Ionelia Zaharia, Ioana Craciun, Camelia Lupascu and Nicoleta Albu of Romania celebrate winning bronze in the women’s quadruple sculls at the 2012 European Rowing Championships in Varese, Italy</figcaption></figure> <p> At the half-way point Romania had gained an open-water lead with the rest of the crews fighting it out for the lesser medals. And what a fight it was. At the half-way point only three seconds separated these five boats.</p> <p> Coming through to the final sprint Romania would have to have a disaster not to win. Belarus had now pushed past Ukraine and so had Italy. The crowd was going wild. If Italy was to win a medal at Varese it would be historic. As Romania crossed the line in first, Italy pushed hard and got themselves into the silver medal position. The home crowd advantage could not be doubted here. Just as remarkable was Great Britain who had pushed back from fifth place to take the bronze medal.<br /> <span><em>Results: <strong>ROU, ITA, GBR</strong>, BLR, UKR, RUS</em></span></p> <p> <span><b>Irina Dorneanu (W8+) – ROU – Gold</b><br /> <i>“This was our last race in this year so we wanted to give our best. We have been rowing together (in this combination) only for one month."</i></span><br />  </p> <p> <strong>Men’s Eight (M8+) – Final</strong><br /> As is the tradition, the final race of this regatta was the men’s eight. The defending European Champions Poland were the favourites after recording the fastest qualifying time two days ago in the heats. As expected Poland got away quickly and had built up a handy lead by the half-way point. </p> <figure class="archive float-right"><img alt="DSC_9326" src="/uploads/files/47af37898a48ac374c4749beca79c3a2.jpg"><figcaption>The Czech Republic, Poland and Italy on the podium for the men’s eight at the 2012 European Rowing Championships in Varese, Italy</figcaption></figure> <p> Meanwhile a huge battle was going on for second with the five crews behind them, including Italy, spaced by less than two seconds. Great Britain had a slight edge but there was room for anyone to attack. Then in the third 500m Italy did a huge piece that brought them up close to Great Britain and also closed the gap on Poland.</p> <p> As Poland crossed the line in first to successfully defend their European Championship title, Italy gave it their all to the line. They had taken the silver medal. What a way to end this regatta for Italy.

Host nation Italy finished with the highest number of medals, winning a total of six medals, two of them gold and four of them silver. The Italians successfully defended their European Championship title in the lightweight men's four and also scored a first European gold in the lightweight women's double sculls, along with silvers in the men's and women's eights to the delight of the nearly 10,000 cheering spectators along Lake Varese.</p> <p> Lithuania proved its force in the single sculls with Donata Vistartaite winning gold in the women's event and, in the men's event, Mindaugas Griskonis adding a third European title to his medal collection. Greece also claimed two gold medals in today's A-finals, retaining their title in the men's four and crossing the line with a surprise victory in the lightweight men's double sculls.</p> <p> Camelia Lupascu and Nicoleta Albu of Romania made it a double-header today, collecting their third consecutive European title in the women's pair and then racing to bronze a couple of hours later in the women's quadruple sculls. In the men's pair, it was Rogier Blink and Mitchel Steenman who won their nation's single medal, a gold, at the 2012 European Rowing Championships.</p> <p> Finishing with a fourth place at the Olympic Games in London, Estonia's crew in the men's quadruple sculls raced again, finishing ahead of the field in first ahead of Ukraine and Slovenia. The Olympic Champion crew from Ukraine, with just one change to their London line-up, won gold in the women's quad, thus prolonging their multi-year winning streak at European level in this event.</p> <p> Croatia's 2012 Olympic silver medallists from the men's quadruple sculls raced in two different boat classes in Varese. Brothers Valent and Martin Sinkovic competed in the men's double sculls, finishing with gold, while Damir Martin took silver in the men's single sculls.</p> <p> Belarus won one medal at the European Rowing Championships, and it was gold in the women's double sculls.

They raced in <strong>Semifinal One</strong> today. Early in the race the six boats were all relatively equal with Rolandas Mascinskas and Saulius Ritter of Lithuania having a slight lead. Sartori and Battisti then pushed ahead. Mascinskas and Ritter finished sixth at the London Olympic Games and through the middle of the race they were keeping up quite successfully with the Italians. Meanwhile a very close battle was going on between Serbia, the Czech Republic, France and Estonia. This was going to be a huge fight to the line as only the top three would get to go to the final.</p> <p> At the line the Italians had finished first, one second ahead of Lithuania. Serbia’s Marko Marjanovic and Aleksandar Filipovic won the duel against the rest of the field to be the third place finishers and the qualifiers for tomorrow’s A-final.   </p> <figure class="archive float-left"><img alt="DSC_6593" src="/uploads/files/25544592cabe82bb372ebbf927827e12.jpg"><figcaption>Rolandas Mascinskas (b) and Saulius Ritter (s) race the semifinal of the men’s double sculls on day two of the 2012 European Rowing Championships, Varese, Italy</figcaption></figure> <p> There was a lot of interest in Croatia in <strong>Semifinal Two</strong>. Martin and Valent Sinkovic come from the men’s quadruple sculls that won Olympic silver in London. The Sinkovic brothers have done very little racing in the double internationally, but part of their training for the quad is based around the double. Croatia was the fastest out of the start but at the first 500m marker it was Konrad Wasielwski and Wiktor Chabel of Poland in the lead. Wasielwski is part of Poland’s very successful quad that took gold at the Beijing Olympics and he kept his double at the front of the field until the half-way mark.</p> <p> Croatia, however, was challenging the Poles hard and remained within a metre of them throughout the middle of the race. These two crews moved clear away from the rest of the field. The Sinkovics then did a big piece that not only got them ahead of Poland, but also enabled them to build up a small lead. Wasielwski and Chabel were then under threat from Olympic seventh place finishers, Nils Jakob Hoff and Kjetil Borch of Norway. In an incredibly tight finish Croatia held on to first, Norway pushed through to second and Poland just held on to third over a very fast, high-rating finish by Ukraine.<br /> <span><span><span><em>Qualifiers: ITA, LTU, SRB, CRO, NOR, POL</em></span></span></span></p> <p> <strong>Lightweight Men’s Double Sculls (LM2x) – Semifinals</strong><br /> In yesterday’s heats Greece showed very good boat speed but at the start of <strong>Semifinal One</strong> Panagiotis Magdanis and Spyridon Giannaros of Greece were at the very back of the field. Despite their place at the back of the field, margins between the crews were very close – just one and a half seconds over the entire field. This meant that by the half-way point the Greeks had moved into third with Portugal’s Petro Fraga and Nuno Mendes in the lead.</p> <p> Fraga and Mendes are two-time Olympians and they finished fifth in London in this event. Coached by former Dutch national rower, Mark Emke, Fraga and Mendes remained in the lead, building up a handy margin over Magdanis and Giannaros who had moved through into second. Magdanis finished eighth in this event at the London Olympics and he is partnered in Varese with the reigning under-23 champion in the lightweight men’s single sculls, Giannaros. At the line Fraga and Mendes had held on to first with Greece in second and Austria’s Paul and Bernhard Sieber taking third. Fraga and Mendes recorded the fastest time of the two semifinals. </p> <figure class="archive float-right"><img alt="DSC_6687" src="/uploads/files/06c2cb29c9f4d5977cde1defc6955b5e.jpg"><figcaption>The start of the second semifinal of the Under 23 Lightweight Men’s Pairs sees Turkey, Hungary, Germany, France, New Zealand and South Africa racing at the 2011 World Rowing Under 23 Championships in Amsterdam, the Netherlands</figcaption></figure> <p> After the first 200m Great Britain’s Chris Boddy and Michael Mottram had a slight lead in <strong>Semifinal Two</strong>. Boddy and Mottram had to qualify for this semifinal by racing in the repechage yesterday, thus they have had an extra race compared to most of their competition. Ukraine’s Stanislav Kovalov and Igor Khmara then got their boat into the lead and by the middle of the race Kovalov and Khmara had a very small lead over France’s Thomas Baroukh and Fabrice Moreau who were now in second.</p> <p> This was turning into a very tight race and going into the second half only two and a half seconds separated the top five crews. Only Poland was off the pace. Coming into the final sprint Ukraine remained in the lead. All boats were sprinting and perhaps the fastest sprint was coming from Poland. It was going to be a six-boat fight to the line. It was going to be a photo finish.</p> <p> Described by the finish line commentator as a ‘sensational finish’ Great Britain had laid everything on the line and taken first. Ukraine had held on to second and France just held off Poland to take the third and final qualifying spot.<br /> <span><span><span><em>Qualifiers:</em> <em>POR, GRE, AUT, GBR, UKR, FRA</em></span></span></span></p> <p> <strong>Men’s Quadruple Sculls (M4x) – Semifinals</strong><br /> Slovenia had a very good race yesterday when they won their heat and recorded the fastest qualifying time for today’s semifinals. They raced in <strong>Semifinal One</strong> and at the start of the race the Slovenians were just behind London Olympic fourth-place finishers, Estonia. As a nation Estonia’s population is small and their rowing numbers reflect this. Their quad is their top flagship boat and they come to Varese as the favourites to win this event.</p> <p> Going through the middle of the race Estonia had built up a very handy four-second lead over Slovenia in second. The Slovenian crew includes 2012 world junior silver medallist from the men’s single sculls Jernej Markovc as well as the 2011 European Championship quad of Jan Spik, Matej Rojec and Gasper Fistravec. </p> <figure class="archive float-left"><img alt="DSC_7641" src="/uploads/files/e0c7c0a157139eba1ee659398dff3b2f.jpg"><figcaption>Finish of the men’s quadruple sculls, as the Czech Republic, Russia and Great Britain fight for A Final spots at the 2012 European Rowing Championships in Varese, Italy</figcaption></figure> <p> Sprinting to the line Estonia held on to first with Slovenia now feeling the heat because of a very tight fight going on between Poland and Italy. With home crowd support, Italy poured on the pressure and moved away from Poland. Italy qualified for the final by finishing in third while Estonia and Slovenia qualified by taking first and second respectively.</p> <p> The <strong>second semifinal </strong>opened with the Czech Republic showing the way and being followed extremely closely by Ukraine. By the 600m point Ukraine had pushed into the lead. Ukraine is being stroked by Ivan Dovgodko who raced at the London Olympic Games in the quad, finishing ninth overall. Sitting behind him were three members of the 2011 under-23 World Champion quad.</p> <p> The Czech Republic pushed back and regained the lead through the middle of the race but coming into the final sprint, with 500m left to row, the field had tightened up and only a couple of seconds separated the top four boats. Charging for the line Great Britain took their stroke rate to 39 and higher. Russia charged as well, Ukraine gave it their all and the Czech Republic tried to hold on. At the line Ukraine had finished first, the Czechs second and Russia third. These boats will get to race in tomorrow’s final.<br /> <span><span><span><em>Qualifiers: EST, SLO, ITA, UKR, CZE, RUS</em></span></span></span></p> <p> <strong>Men’s Single Sculls (M1x) – Semifinals</strong><br /> A very fast start by Damir Martin of Croatia got the action going in<strong> Semifinal One</strong>. Martin comes to Varese after finishing with a silver medal at the London Olympics in the men’s quadruple sculls. At the first 500m mark Martin had a slight lead over Mindaugas Griskonis of Lithuania. Griskonis is the reigning European Champion in this event and also a London Olympian. Coming through the middle of the race Griskonis had pushed into the lead with Martin holding on tightly in second. These two scullers, in their battle to be first, had moved away from the rest of the field.</p> <p> Meanwhile, behind Griskonis and Martin the Hungarian world silver medallist and world university champion in the lightweight men’s single sculls, Peter Galambos, was fighting with Andraz Krek of Slovenia with Michal Plocek of the Czech Republic then moving up on the action. Coming into the line Griskonis and Martin had held on to first and second respectively with Galambos earning the third spot and thus qualifying for the final. </p> <figure class="archive float-right"><img alt="DSC_7663" src="/uploads/files/9963e794e9c7eb60a110cddaceb26e21.jpg"><figcaption>Mindaugas Griskonis of Lithuania crosses the line first in his semifinal of the men’s single sculls at the 2012 European Rowing Championships in Varese, Italy</figcaption></figure> <p> Bulgaria’s Georgi Bozhilov had a stormer of a start in <strong>Semifinal Two</strong>. A risky move, but could he hold it? Bozhilov tried to qualify for the London Olympics earlier this season and just missed out. He has decided to finish the season with the European Rowing Championships. Bozhilov continued to have the lead at the half-way point with Belgium’s Olympic Best Time holder, Tim Maeyens moving up into second. This left Great Britain and Switzerland fighting it out for third.</p> <p> As the final sprint came into view Mayens had pushed ahead of Bozhilov and taken first with Great Britain’s Graeme Thomas pulling out a huge push that got him within striking distance of Bozhilov. Maeyens got to the finish line first, recording the fastest qualifying time of the two semifinals. Bozhilov held on to second and Thomas, in a very well-timed race, finished third. These are the three crews that had qualified for tomorrow’s final.<br /> <span><span><span><em>Qualifiers: LTU, CRO, HUN, BEL, BUL, GBR</em></span></span></span></p> <p> <strong>Women’s Single Sculls (W1x) – Semifinals</strong><br /> All the boats got away together at the start of <strong>Semifinal One</strong> with Luiza-Mariya Rusinova of Bulgaria reaching the first 500m marker first. Rusinova raced at the World Rowing Under 23 Championships this year where she finished ninth. By the middle of the race Estonia’s Kaisa Pajsalu had got ahead of Rusinova and into the lead. Just behind Rusinova was Tale Gjoertz of Norway. Pajsalu, Rusinova and Gjoertz made up the top three boats challenging each other and in the process moving cleanly away from the rest of the field.</p> <p> As the final sprint came into view Pajusalu, Rusinova and Gjoertz remained comfortably in the three qualifying positions and it would take a major disaster for this to change before the line. No major issues occurred except for Gjoertz getting the better of Rusinova to swap the second and third place getters. Pajsalu, Gjoertz and Rusinova had become the three qualifying athletes for tomorrow’s final. </p> <figure class="archive float-left"><img alt="DSC_7731" src="/uploads/files/ddf20aa8b6e2be7b59a967078aa9928e.jpg"><figcaption>Kaisa Pajusalu of Estonia crosses the finish line in the semifinals of the women’s single sculls to qualify for the A Final at the 2012 European Rowing Championships in Varese, Italy</figcaption></figure> <p> As the breeze switched to a slight head wind, <strong>Semifinal Two</strong> got going. Germany’s 20-year-old world under-23 champion Julia Lier had the early lead with 39-year-old Julia Levina of Russia in second. As athletes moved through the middle of the race, Lier looked to have run out of steam and Olympian Donata Vistartaite of Lithuania moved up to the front with Levina holding on to second.</p> <p> Using 29 strokes per minute Vistartaite remained in the lead and looked like she could take it up if necessary. Iva Obradovic of Serbia had moved up into second and within striking distance of Vistartaite. At the line Vistartaite, who finished eighth at the London Olympics, finished in first place with Obradovic getting the better of Levina.

To qualify for tomorrow's A-final, crews had to finish in the top three in each semifinal. Some crews in other events qualified for the finals directly from the heats and repechages.<br /> <br /> Italy's Olympic silver medallists from London, Alessio Sartori and Romano Battisti, won Semifinal One in the men's double sculls after winning their heat yesterday. However, the Croatian brothers Martin and Valent Sinkovic won Semifinal Two with a faster qualifying time. Part of the men's quadruple sculls that won silver in London, the Sinkovic brothers are demonstrating their competitiveness as a duo.<br /> <br /> Damir Martin, a lso a member of Croatia's men's quadruple sculls that medalled in London, is racing in the men's single sculls in Varese. Today Martin qualified for tomorrow's A-final behind Lithuania's Mindaugas Griskonis, proving that he is a force to be reckoned with internationally even when racing alone. Tim Maeyens of Belgium set an Olympic Best Time in London, but then finished 12th at the Games. Now racing at the European Rowing Championships he seems in top form, having won his heat yesterday and semifinal today.<br /> <br /> Portugal's Nuno Mendes and Pedro Fraga have won silver and bronze at the European Rowing Championships in the lightweight men's double sculls in 2011 and 2010. Having won both their heat and semifinal in Varese so far, they might be on the path to claim their first European gold tomorrow in the A-final.<br /> <br /> In the men's quadruple sculls, Estonia's Olympic crew are racing again. After just missing out on the medals in London (where they finished fourth), they have now won both their heat and semifinal at these European Rowing Championships. Estonia won European silver in the men's quad last year and will aim to do at least just as well in Varese.<br /> <br /> Olympic bronze medallists in the lightweight women's double sculls, Alexandra Tsiavou and Christina Giazitzidou from Greece, will be lining up in one of the two centre lanes in tomorrow's A-final, alongside Italy's Elisabetta Sancassani and Laura Milani. Tsiavou has won European gold in this boat class every year since 2007, with Giazitzidou joining her in 2009. After winning their heat yesterday, the duo will aim to win yet another European Championship A-final tomorrow.<br /> <br /> In the women's pair, Nicoleta Albu and Camelia Lupascu of Romania are two-time European Champions in this boat class. Doubling up in the women's quadruple sculls, they will be also be racing in the A-final of the women's quad, facing Olympic Champions Ukraine.<br /> <br /> Poland won the men's eight at the European Rowing Championships last year and in 2009, European silver in 2010 and bronze in 2008. After winning their heat yesterday, they will aim to win yet another medal in tomorrow's A-final. Romania has been unbeatable in the women's eight at European level since 2007 and tomorrow they will be aiming for their sixth European Championship title in a row.<br /> <br /> Stay tuned to <a
