Everything was ready this Saturday at A Coruña so it is ACTboth men’s and women’s leagues, but strong waves on Riazor beach, which is why the testing was stopped.

Benigno Silva, the chairman of the technical board, explained the reasons: «In my opinion, the shipping conditions are very complicated. There is very little time between waves, they have a great height and there is a lot of underwater flow”.

Silva, well known in the Cabo da Cruz rowing club as technical director and coach, commented that the boarding would have to be “done very quickly and that there is practically no time. Celebrate today the regatta and above all the embarkation, it would be too risky. Some of the crew might have an accident. I think it’s best to stop and see if we can continue it tomorrow.
