Angelina Iannicelli then confirmed her talent, winning another silver medal in the women’s singles.
Alfonso Sanseverino, protagonist of the victory in the Master category, wanted to underline the uniqueness and charm of the Beach Sprint, a discipline that is clearly distinct from classic rowing. «The Beach Sprint is not the traditional Olympic specialty in still waters: it requires agility, balance, sensitivity to trajectories and weather conditions, as well as the ability to dose the energy to row and run. It is competed in open water, where conditions can change in an instant, and it is essential to know how to manage every unexpected event. It is an evolving, spectacular and dynamic sport, where the best time can choose the lane and every detail can make the difference. It is an exciting challenge that offers unique emotions – declared Sanseverino – This discipline represents an extraordinary opportunity for participation and growth for our sport».
«Circolo Canottieri Irno ASD is proud of the results achieved by its athletes and will continue to promote the Beach Sprint, a specialty that represents the future of rowing at an international level.» conclude John Richpresident of the red and white association.
