International Rowing Ettagonal

Rowing is a sport of endurance and speed. The essential quality of the rower is the ability to keep the boat balanced while simultaneously transferring the maximum power to the oars. Very streamlined boats are used, in which the athletes sit on seats, sliding or fixed, called "carriages," facing the stern. Oars are used to move the vessel.
The main differences in the boats used for rowing are based on the number of athletes in the crew, the number of oars operated by each rower, which can be one ("scull") or two ("pair"), and the presence or absence of a coxswain (therefore we refer to "with" or "without"). The boats were originally made of wood; today they are made of carbon fiber, while competition boats are now almost all made of composite materials.
Rowing is an atypical sport regarding the effort required from athletes: the standard race distance of 2,000 meters is long enough to require endurance skills, but short enough in terms of time to seem like a speed race.
Rowers have some of the highest power outputs among all sports.
Therefore, the rower must adapt their breathing to the rhythm of the stroke, inhaling and exhaling twice per stroke, unlike other sports, such as cycling, where the athlete can breathe freely.

On Saturday, October 17, Bardolino will be the stage for the International Youth Rowing Ettagonal! Seven teams, four nations, and many young athletes ready to compete on the waters of Lake Garda. Veneto, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Carinthia, Upper Austria, Vienna, Slovenia, and Croatian Istria will be the protagonists of a day of sport, friendship, and international competition.
