Rowing, Europeans in Bulgaria: two bronzes for the eight blue

The state of health of a remiero movement has always been measured through the performance of the flagship boat: eight. Therefore, according to this rule, the Blue Remo starts with the right foot in the four -year period that will culminate with the Los Angeles 2028 games. The tricolor was present in both tests: bronze in the male and female. Two medals in the last tests of the program that brawl the booty of three medals won on Saturday (the silver in the two without male with Codato-di Colandrea and in the female codato-Merian as well as the bronze of Perini in the single Pararowing). And on the two flagships in the role of Capovoga two brothers: Alice and Giovanni Codato, already silver on Saturday in the two without. “I dreamed of this final from the first to the last palato -Alice said -. A beautiful medal that rewards the commitment of these months in the federal gatherings”. “Two days, two medals for me and Alice -explained Giovanni -. When we met in the award ceremony, we tightened ourselves in a beautiful hug and I must admit that a few tears went down”.

The bronze of the men’s flagship (behind Great Britain and Holland) is a pleasant return because the continental podium was missing from the 2022 edition to Munich. Among the protagonists was Giovanni Abagnale, 30 -year -old Campania bronze tank top in Rio 2016 in the two without. “We simply expected to play our race, to do only our best. We managed to reproduce the good speeds recorded during the federal gatherings. It is a crew with many young people on board: they are transmitting me so much and I take place to do the same with them, we still have margins for improvement”. The weight of the metal conquered in the women’s field (same podium of the men’s race with gold at Great Britain and silver at Holland) is different. For the third consecutive edition, the pink flagge rises on the continental podium and with this medal the women’s sector closes with the same number of podiums compared to the male. “I am proud of this third consecutive medal in the Europeans and very happy for this start of four years -explained Elisa Mondelli -. We are working well, we are on the right path. We girls are all motivated to continue going in this direction, from the point of view of training, to try in these years to achieve an even larger goal than that obtained today”.

The “couple” is missing

The objective therefore achieved for the new technical director. Able to lead Romania to five medals in Paris 2024 of which 4 in the women’s sector, awarded by the World Federation for the best coach of the past season, Antonio Colamonici immediately managed to impulse the Italian pink sector. Looking towards Los Angeles 2028, a boat is missing from these results that over the years has been a pillar of Italian shipments to Europeans, World Cup and Olympics: the four as a couple. Lost the light weight category, always pelvis of medals for Italian rowing, in this continental review there have been no medals for couple crews, especially the quadruple that closed the final in 4th place. This will be the next step forward that Italy will have to take. Starting with the Varese World Cup test (13-15 June) but above all at the September World Cup in China.
