Wind Warriors

On Thursday, the host committee nearly pulled the plug due to potential wildfire smoke and high wind forecasts. Ultimately, the regatta went ahead – with tighter scheduling: just 10 minutes between starts and shorter breaks. Water conditions worsened throughout the day, but all Edmonton Rowing Club boats stayed upright and crossed their finish lines – many with medals.

Performances proved that even when conditions aren’t ideal, Edmonton athletes rise to the challenge.
