YOUR ROWING LINK “Training camps and rowing holidays since 1992” 2021 WORLD ROWING MASTERS REGATTA BANYOLES LAKE, ESP The perfect fusion: COMPETITION & TOURISM CONTACT US: Mail · [email protected] | WhatsApp · +34 676 143 079 (Spain) A MESSAGE FROM MIQUEL JUNCÀ I started rowing when I was 10 years old when our gymnastics school teacher gave us the choice between running or rowing. I chose rowing because I thought this way I could exercise whilst sitting down. Since then, I have never stopped rowing, and it has been more than 50 years. Up until I was 20, I was very lucky to be an elite rower in my birth town, Banyoles, a privileged location for the sport, with great facilities and coaches like Thor Nielsen and the patronage of benefactor Pedro Abreu. When I was 20, I retired from high level sport due to my studies, although I kept rowing, and then in 1999 I participated in my first World Rowing Masters in Seville. Since then, I have taken part in all the Masters events, and I am very proud of Banyoles’s successful bid. I am sure that the city’s organisational excellence – showed in previous events – will help the 2021 edition to be an unforgettable one. During the Barcelona 1992 Olympics – when Banyoles was the rowing venue – I was involved in the organization and was fortunate to be the crowd commentator for many of the most prestigious Olympic regattas, such as the famous coxed pair won by the Searle brothers, beating the Abbagnale brothers after an incredible come back. The following year, I founded Agenda Sports and Elements in order to place and keep Banyoles among the very best locations for international rowing, promoting both training camps – our speciality as you will see in this catalogue – and events like the Banyoles Masters Regatta, which was active for 15 years. Today, we’d like to introduce our offers specifically dedicated to Masters rowers, designed to both improve our skills in the most professional manner, and enjoy the many attractions that our privileged location has to offer.
