Even though rowing is not one of the sports featured at the European Universities Games in Lodz, the presence of key stakeholders at the event was used for two working meetings in preparation of the European Universities Rowing Championship, which will be hosted in September in Istanbul, Turkey.

The first operational working meeting was held between representatives of the European University Sports Association (EUSA) and  Turkish University Sports Federation (TUSF). EUSA was represented by the Sport Manager Mr Miha Zvan, Assistant Sport Manager Mr Mariano Carcatella and Technical Delegate for Rowing Mr Lionel Girard, and TUSF was represented by its President Mr Mehmet Günay, Secretary General Ms Zeynep Sahin and International relations officer Ms Asli Ozdendir.



The second operational working meeting was attended also by EUSA Secretary General Mr Matjaz Pecovnik, and on behalf of the Organising Committee Mr Taner Karabulut and Ms Renin Gemicioglu.

The preparation for the event are going well, and the registrations indicate over 500 participants to come and compete in the EUSA Rowing Championship this year. The course will offer unique opportunity for the participants, being able to row in the Bosporus Strait in Istanbul, linking Europe and Asia.



The next European Universities Rowing Championships will be held this year between September 6 and 9 in Istanbul (TUR), and next year in Bydgoszcz (POL) between September 7 and 10. For more information, please see https://rowing2022.eusa.eu.
