INTERNATIONAL ROWING REGATTA

 

The rowing season in Croatia begins again with 25th International Croatian Open regatta. Regatta is included in international events calendar by FISA, and it is one of the strongest rowing competition in Europe in this part of the season.

Zagreb rowing federation and Rowing club Croatia are organizers of this regatta. In Croatia open 2007, Zagreb has hosted rowers from many countries: Croatia, Austria, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Israel, Slovakia, Slovenia, Serbia & Monte Negro and Turkey. There was more than 1200 rowers in 680 crews during two-day competition. In 2008 we hope to outnumber last years competition.

As always this regatta will show as how well prepared rowers are after their hard training during winter. This is also a big opportunity for national teams directors and trainers to put a list of rowers who will take places in national teams.
