While big parts of continental Europe had record high temperature, low temperature and heavy day rain Saturday and strong headwind Sunday was not the most optimal conditions for a summer regatta. However, all participating rowing teams conquered the elements smoothly and the 2022 Open Nordic Rowing Championship in Tampere Finland became a successful regatta. A big complement to the Finnish Organizers for setting the frame for fairness and inter-nordic friendship between the rowers.
The Nordic Cup which is an ongoing competition among the Nordic Federations was this time won by Denmark with Norway as runners up followed by Sweden and Finland.
Swedish Rowing Federation is a proud organizer of the 2022 European Indoor Rowing Championship. The event will take place in Jönköbing in Sweden on January 29-30, 2022. For more information and registration click on this link: www.erich2022.se
It was a perfect Coastal day in Helsingborg, Sweden. The strong northwesterly wind Friday coming from the open sea had during the night moved to a more calm southwesterly direction making it possible for all boats to succesfully conquer the waves. No rain and a mix of sun and clouds with temperature in the low 20’s and the scene was set for the first Open Nordic Coastal Championship.
