Press Release 2: European Universities Regatta 2005

“ A tremendous and pleasing response by rowers” was the verdict of EUSA President Enno Harms to the entry list for the 1^st EUSA Rowing Regatta in Cardiff on July 22-24.

The EUSA Rowing Regatta will now feature more athletes than any other 2005 EUSA Championships, with 350 athletes from 11 countries now entered in the 14 events.

“British Universities Rowing, with only a six month lead-in, have worked really hard on delivery, both on the event and the GB Team” said Event Director Geoff Holloway. “The new course across Cardiff Bay looks ideal to launch this event, and with the Finish Line in a natural amphitheatre including several restaurants this will help attract the crowds”

Combining EUSA with the Home Countries International Regatta and the Welsh Schools Rowing Challenge, the Cardiff Festival of Rowing will provide an excellent spectacle to celebrate Cardiff 2005, with Local, National and International talent all sharing the water.
British Universities Rowing have included most of their British Champions, chosen from nine universities, in their Great Britain squad, but strong challenges will come from large Dutch, German and French squads, as well as the Henley-winning Dublin Ladies eight.
