European rowing championships, the brilliant results of the athletes of the golden flames of Sabaudia.

The Fiamme Oro Sabaudia State Police Sports Group shines at the European Rowing Championships which took place on the waters of the Maty-Éri basin in Szeged (Hungary).

The ten Crimson Athletes took home a Gold Medal, a Silver Medal, two Bronze Medals and other important placings, all very high level results that contributed to increasing the Italian medal count, thus placing Italy in Third position overall behind Romania and Great Britain.

The medal that shines most of all is the Gold one, won by the Men's Couple Four formed by Ag. Carucci Niccolò together with Panizza, Chiumento and Gentili of the Fiamme Gialle.

The four blue riders dominated from start to finish on a race course that was not at all easy, hindered by the strong headwind.

The Italian boat preceded Switzerland by half a boat, while Poland came in third place.

Other successes in the men's field with the Silver Medal won by the Quattro Senza dell'Ag. Close by Giuseppe with Lodo Abagnale and Kohl.

The Azzurri preceded France but surrendered only to the irrepressible Great Britain who at the end reacted to the attack of the Italian boat. A result of great importance which gives us hope for the next Olympic Qualifiers on 19-21 May in Lucerne, where this team will attempt to qualify for Paris 2024.

The first Bronze Medal was won by Four With PR3 Mixed, Paralympic Speciality which sees the veteran Ag. D'Aniello Enrico at the helm of the crew and the Atleti Muti, Schettino, Frank and Foresti on the oarlocks. Great Britain and France occupied the first two positions right from the start but the Italians kept the Spanish boat away from the first meters, thus securing the Bronze around their necks.

The other European Bronze Medal, for the second consecutive year, came from'Women's Eight led by Ag. Bumbaca Veronica; the Italian flagship snatched third place from Germany and attacked Great Britain, second, to try to improve its position, while the Gold went to Romania.

Different result for the other flagship, the Maschile one, of the Ag. Della Valle Matteo which closes Quarto together with Frigerio, the Vicino twins, Gaetani Liseo, Monfrecola, Pietra Caprina, Abbagnale and Faella at the helm.

Italy, despite fighting to recover the Third position, had to surrender to Romania, Bronze, behind Germany, Silver, and Great Britain who put the Gold around their necks.

Both the Italian Eights, Women's and Men's, still have to go through the Lucerne Olympic Qualifications in order to make the five-ring dream come true.

Other important placings were achieved by the Women's Pair Four of the crimson colleagues Ass. Cesarini Federica and Ag. Buttignon Stefania, together with Stefania Gobbi and Clara Guerra, who placed seventh overall by winning the B Final, and eighth place in the Due Senza Femminile of the new mother Ag. English-Hawke Kiri paired with Laura Meriano.

In the same boat, but in the men's field, the now consolidated duo of the Due Senza degli degli Agents Comini Davide and Codato Giovanni.

This European Championship was a good test for the two events in Lucerne, from 19 to 21 May the Qualifying and from 24 to 27 the World Cup, in the next few days, during the training camp scheduled in Varese, the Azzurro DT Franco Cattaneo will better define the various formations to be deployed.

However, preparation continues apace with a view to qualifying for the singles athlete Ag. Mumolo Davide being prepared in the waters of Lake Paola di Sabaudia under the watchful eye of Inspector C. Molea Valter and the V.Sov. Gabriele Fabrizio who, in agreement with the Federal Technical Directorate, are individually following the specific training path for the Men's Singles in view of Lucerne, where they hope to be able to obtain the much coveted Olympic Pass.
