If there is tradition, it is in rowing. This is also the case at what is now the 61st Six Lakes Regatta, a competition on annually changing waters that has grown from originally three to six clubs over the decades. This year the rowing clubs from Gmunden, Mondsee, St. Gilgen, Salzburg, Waging (Rupertiwinkel/Bavaria) and Seewalchen matched before the last-named club on the northern Attersee, which was still and rigidly dormant due to the weather the day before yesterday.
While the second day of the World Championships final was being unwound in Racice in the Czech Republic, the rest of the rowing world was at least keeping an eye on Lake Attersee, where things were really happening, especially in the junior division, but also in the Masters. Thanks in part to nine race wins, the overall ranking went to Seewalchen (131 points) for the second time in a row ahead of arch-rival Gmunden (104) and the sensationally triumphant Wagingers (72).
“Above all, our club youth contributed a lot to the team’s victory,” says RVS secretary Birgit Aigner. “For our sports manager Hans Kreuzer it was the third overall victory after 2009 and 2021. He has thus made himself immortal, because there has never been a sports manager who has managed to do this.” All results in detail at www.rvseewalchen.com
