Centuries of history. Countless traditions. Even more legends. <\/span><b>And yet, watching boats glide between the Umberto I and Vittorio Emanuele I bridges \u2014 aerodynamic missiles powered by harmoniously synchronized and powerful bodies \u2014 still takes your breath away. Even in 2025. Especially in 2025.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the waters of the Po River, the Sebago Rowing Cup was more than just a dreamlike showcase for a sporting art form that has long shined in the Olympic pantheon, in historic college rivalries, and in legendary regattas. <\/span><b>It also served as a reminder of rowing\u2019s deeper dimensions. Its philosophical side: the shared labor in pursuit of perfect synchronicity, where the highest form of individual performance is born from collective tension. Its identity: a sport that evokes a powerful sense of belonging, whether to a university, a club, or a national tradition. And its style: the aesthetic foundation of a discipline that has defined \u2014 and passed down \u2014 a unique visual language for generations, remaining beautifully timeless.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s no coincidence that Sebago chose to support such a rare and meaningful event in the Italian sporting landscape. <\/span><b>Inspired from the start by the very name of a lake in Maine, and long embedded in the sailing, rowing and aquatic lifestyle, the American-born \u2014 and now Turin-based \u2014 brand gave us a way to enter a sporting world that has always known how to remain faithful to itself. And to its enduring beauty.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We heard the testimonies of some of the athletes competing in the Sebago Rowing Cup: Bocconi Sport, Cambridge Boat

And what does this sport represent for you today?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Ella Zagoury \u2013 HEC Paris:<\/b> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI\u2019m actually quite a new rower compared to most people competing here \u2014 I started rowing only about a year ago. Before that, I practiced judo and dance, both very individual disciplines. I came to rowing somewhat by chance, through friends who were already involved in it. When I started university, I was looking for a new sport, something different. I found something that was all about teamwork \u2014 exactly what I needed at that moment. <\/span><\/i><b><i>I developed a strong connection with rowing because it\u2019s so intense and demanding. You activate about 70% of your body\u2019s muscles, so it\u2019s physically exhausting \u2014 but that\u2019s exactly what makes it so rewarding. Today, as president of my team, rowing represents both a personal challenge and a deeply meaningful collective experience. I\u2019ve found more than a sport \u2014 I\u2019ve found a family. It\u2019s about unity, both on and off the water.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Nicol\u00f2 Carucci \u2013 Bocconi Sport:<\/b> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI started rowing when I was 14. Right from the beginning, it became a way for me to express myself. Over time, it grew into a profession \u2014 it took me all the way to the Olympics \u2014 and today, it also represents a major academic opportunity. <\/span><\/i><b><i>My relationship with rowing has evolved a lot: from a youthful passion to a professional athletic career, and now also a tool for personal and professional growth. What I appreciate is how many doors this sport opens \u2014 how many opportunities it creates. On the international stage, I\u2019ve met so many interesting people. One of the things I love most about rowing is that sense of belonging to a global family: as a rower, you connect with people from everywhere.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Esther Austin \u2013 Oxford Boat Club:<\/b> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI got into rowing through coxing when I was about 10 or 11. My sister had started rowing, and my dad was coaching at the time. Both of my parents rowed at university \u2014 not at a super high level, but they were involved \u2014 so it was already part of our family culture. My dad needed a cox, and since I was small, I volunteered. That\u2019s how it started. Then, in secondary school, I began rowing myself. <\/span><\/i><b><i>So rowing has really been a part of my life for as long as I can remember \u2014 it\u2019s shaped who I am. This sport brings out so many valuable qualities: teamwork, friendship, intensity, discipline, commitment, and time management. These are all things rowing has taught me, and they\u2019re still part of my daily life. In many ways, rowing is part of my identity.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Alberto Ciavarro \u2013 Young Stars Torino: <\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI started rowing as a kid. At first, it was just a fun game. Over time, it became a real commitment \u2014 almost like a job. Training twice a day to maintain a certain level is no easy task, but it has always remained a strong passion for me. Until last year, I used to train at 5:30 in the morning, head to work at 7:00, and then be back for evening practice at 5:30 pm. <\/span><\/i><b><i>The secret to rowing is that it brings people together, especially in a team setting: working together helps you overcome obstacles and pushes you to give your best. For me, rowing is, first and foremost, still all about passion.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Miranda Clements \u2013 Cambridge Boat Club:<\/b> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><\/i><b><i>Rowing has always been part of my family. Even before I was born, both of my parents rowed. As children, my dad would take us up and down the Thames in traditional Thames racing skiffs, so I was introduced to the sport very early on \u2014 really, before I can even remember. <\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That said, my parents never pressured us. Rowing was always there, but never something we were pushed into. It wasn\u2019t until university that I truly discovered it for myself \u2014 I learned how to row properly, and here I am. Today, this sport holds huge value for me, especially in terms of community. Some of the deepest friendships I\u2019ve built have come through rowing. And as a woman in sport, having the chance to train alongside strong, determined women is something I see as a real privilege.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>Marco Madotti \u2013 Young Stars Piemonte:<\/b> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMy rowing journey started almost by accident \u2014 I began rowing with friends, just to spend time together. <\/span><\/i><b><i>Then, competing and experiencing the thrill of winning made this sport become a part of me. I\u2019ve now been rowing on these waters for about seven years, which makes it especially meaningful to take part in such a prestigious event like the Sebago Rowing Cup.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><script id=\"script-row-unique-2\" data-row=\"script-row-unique-2\" type=\"text\/javascript\"

sporting culture, rooted in history and legend. You are part of the new generation of this discipline. How do you experience the blend of past, present, and future that comes together in every race? For you, is rowing a sport, a cultural form, or a combination of both?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Ella Zagoury \u2013 HEC Paris:<\/b><b><i> \u201cIt\u2019s definitely a combination of both sport and culture. Rowing is part of the broader culture of sport, even though in France, for instance, it\u2019s not considered a national sport and it\u2019s not as visible or widespread as in other countries. Last year I studied abroad in Australia and had the opportunity to join the University of Melbourne\u2019s rowing team. The mindset there is completely different.<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In Australia, rowing is very much a national sport \u2014 especially in Melbourne, which has so many clubs and a strong community around it. I think part of that comes from the Commonwealth legacy \u2014 Australia inherited a rich rowing tradition from Britain. It\u2019s embedded in their cultural DNA. So yes, rowing absolutely blends sport and culture. <\/span><\/i><b><i>You feel the weight of tradition at every regatta, but you also sense how the sport is evolving: each new generation brings its own energy to a centuries-old legacy.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Nicol\u00f2 Carucci \u2013 Bocconi Sport:<\/b> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI\u2019m really drawn to sports with a strong historical dimension \u2014 I\u2019m fascinated by history in general, and rowing is soaked in it. Just look at the photographs from the 19th century, the early college teams\u2026 It\u2019s captivating. <\/span><\/i><b><i>For me, rowing is a sport, but also something more: it\u2019s a way of life, a mindset. It\u2019s been a constant in my life for many years and continues to play a central role. It definitely has a cultural side, in addition to the athletic one \u2014 and that\u2019s a big part of what makes it so meaningful to me.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Esther Austin \u2013 Oxford Boat Club:<\/b> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s absolutely a combination of sport and culture. Even at home, I\u2019ve always been very aware of the cultural side of rowing. If we talk about tradition, the Henley Royal Regatta is the perfect example \u2014 it\u2019s an iconic event that represents the cultural heritage of the sport. <\/span><\/i><b><i>That sense of history and tradition is definitely one of the reasons people stay so connected to rowing. That said, for me, rowing has always been first and foremost a sport. And a truly unique one \u2014 the level of synchronicity and precision required is incredible. That feeling of being perfectly in sync on the water&#8230; it\u2019s amazing.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Alberto Ciavarro \u2013 Young Stars Torino:<\/b> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFor me, it\u2019s a fusion of both. We all admire the sport\u2019s history \u2014 we look up to the greats and try to follow in their footsteps. <\/span><\/i><b><i>But we also draw on the cultural side of rowing to approach today\u2019s races with the right mindset. That combination \u2014 of honoring the past while competing in the present \u2014 is really what keeps the sport alive.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Miranda Clements \u2013 Cambridge Boat Club:<\/b> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAt any race or regatta, you really feel the blend of past, present, and future coming together.<\/span><\/i><b><i> You see junior rowers racing for the first time, masters still competing, and volunteers \u2014 often from older generations \u2014 all sharing the same space. It creates an environment where you can observe, learn from one another, see how people carry themselves, how they approach racing, and how they support each other. There\u2019s a kind of natural exchange across generations. <\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for the second part of your question, I\u2019d absolutely say that rowing is both a sport and a cultural form. Especially at international events like this one, you feel the meeting of different cultures. Each country brings something unique, but at the core, there\u2019s always the same spirit of loyalty, teamwork, and tradition. It\u2019s really special to see all of that come together in a single event.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>Marco Madotti \u2013 Young Stars Piemonte:<\/b> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s definitely a fusion of both. Rowing has a deep cultural history, but it also demands athletic commitment, discipline, and very specific physical and mental conditions. <\/span><\/i><b><i>So yes, to truly connect with this sport, you need a deep passion \u2014 one that embraces both its cultural richness and its competitive demands.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><script

shared performance. Rowing brings together many different layers of thinking, defining the unique state of the art of this discipline. Which aspects do you train the most, and which do you consider most important for becoming a successful athlete and crew?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Ella Zagoury \u2013 HEC Paris:<\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201cI believe mindset is everything. You can\u2019t afford to give up \u2014 and that mentality actually comes from being part of a crew. You\u2019re not just responsible for yourself; you\u2019re responsible for everyone in the boat. Your effort directly impacts the others. So having a strong mentality, staying mentally resilient, and always giving your best is essential. <\/span><\/i><b><i>And communication is everything too. No one talks in the boat \u2014 except the cox \u2014 but there\u2019s constant communication nonetheless. It\u2019s just nonverbal. You have to feel each other, sense the rhythm, and stay perfectly in sync. Open communication builds trust, and trust makes the crew stronger. Of course, physical performance matters. But in the end, if everyone is genuinely motivated to move as one \u2014 both physically and emotionally \u2014 that\u2019s the best formula for success.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Nicol\u00f2 Carucci \u2013 Bocconi Sport: <\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAs in any sport, it\u2019s the mental component that truly makes the difference. An elite athlete\u2019s career is full of highs and lows \u2014 you have to know how to face every challenge, every moment of pressure. A race is nothing like training: there are expectations, stress, and the unexpected. Of course, physical preparation is fundamental too, but for me, mindset is key. I\u2019ve experienced this firsthand, and I\u2019ve seen it in my teammates as well: those who really stand out always have something extra in their head. We train 35 hours a week \u2014 it\u2019s tough for everyone. <\/span><\/i><b><i>Whether you\u2019re performing well or struggling, you still have to push through. And to do that, you need mental strength. It\u2019s what keeps you going when things get hard, and in the end, it\u2019s what leads you to success.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Esther Austin \u2013 Oxford Boat Club:<\/b> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI honestly find it difficult to separate those elements, because in rowing, they blend together and are equally essential. You can have someone who\u2019s incredibly athletic and technically solid, but if they lack mental strength, they\u2019ll still hit a wall they can\u2019t get past. So yes, I\u2019d say it\u2019s truly a combination of three factors: mind, body, and technique. <\/span><\/i><b><i>I\u2019m not sure which one is easiest to train \u2014 maybe mental strength comes more naturally to some people, as a personality trait\u2026 Whereas technique, for example, is something that can be taught and improved consistently. In the end, you need all three to succeed.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Alberto Ciavarro \u2013 Young Stars Torino:<\/b> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cTo become a successful athlete, especially in rowing, you can\u2019t afford to be superficial. Races are decided by seconds \u2014 and when you lose by just one, it stings. You quickly learn that every detail matters. <\/span><\/i><b><i>Everything is crucial: technique on the water, physical conditioning in the gym, strength, even nutrition. We have to stay in a specific shape, at a specific weight, and that requires discipline and attention. Every aspect plays a precise role \u2014 and training them all is essential if you really want to make a difference.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Miranda Clements \u2013 Cambridge Boat Club:<\/b> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIn rowing, you have to train both body and mind. Physically, you need cardiovascular endurance and strength, but the psychological side is just as important \u2014 if not more. What makes rowing so unique is how all these elements have to integrate in order to build a complete athlete. You can train your body all you want, but it\u2019s often the mind that either holds you back or pushes you further.<\/span><\/i><b><i> Building real mental resilience \u2014 learning to push past your limits, stay focused, and not give up \u2014 is often what separates good athletes from great ones. Tenacity, determination, and a sense of responsibility are all fundamental qualities. And of course, teamwork is crucial. Rowing is one of the ultimate team sports, and the ability to collaborate, communicate, and trust your crew is just as important as individual performance.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Marco Madotti \u2013 Young Stars Piemonte:<\/b> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cPhysical strength is definitely central. You have to train it \u2014 without a strong engine, the boat just doesn\u2019t move. <\/span><\/i><b><i>But the crew dynamic is just as important: being able to create a healthy collaboration, a kind of mutual understanding and equality in the boat \u2014 that\u2019s what makes things smoother. And it\u2019s what leads to victory.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><script id=\"script-row-unique-6\" data-row=\"script-row-unique-6\" type=\"text\/javascript\"

component. Can you tell us what role uniforms, style, and elegance play in your relationship with the sport? And speaking of aesthetics again, what are the visual details that you like the most about the rowing environment?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Ella Zagoury \u2013 HEC Paris:<\/b> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI think when people say aesthetics don\u2019t matter in sport, they\u2019re missing something essential. In rowing, aesthetics play a big role\u2014especially during competition. We\u2019ve talked about how rowing isn\u2019t really a national sport in France. Well, I believe that investing in its visual identity is one of the key ways to grow its appeal. Uniforms are a big part of that. Wearing the same kit unites us. It creates a sense of belonging and identity. It reinforces the idea that we\u2019re a crew, a team, moving as one body. It also connects us to the deep heritage of rowing: the classic regattas, the Henley Royal Regatta, Oxford and Cambridge\u2026 that iconic old-school navy style. We don\u2019t have formal blazers like Cambridge, but we do have our racing kits, our training suits. <\/span><\/i><b><i>It might seem like a small detail, but when you\u2019re on the water and see a crew rowing in perfect synchronicity, all in matching, elegant uniforms\u2014it\u2019s powerful. It catches the eye. It conveys strength and refinement. That visual consistency adds a layer of magic to the sport. There\u2019s something timeless and harmonious about rowing movements\u2026 and when you understand the physical effort behind them, it becomes even more impressive. Sometimes you\u2019re just walking along a river and you see a boat gliding across the water, perfectly in sync, clean lines\u2026 and you just think: wow. The visual legacy and identity are part of what makes rowing so special.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Nicol\u00f2 Carucci \u2013 Bocconi Sport: <\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFrom the very beginning, since the early British colleges, rowing has always had an incredibly strong style. It\u2019s been a pioneer not just in sport, but also in aesthetics\u2014it&#8217;s even influenced major fashion trends and brands. <\/span><\/i><b><i>Above all, a fast boat also has to be beautiful: when a crew is perfectly synchronized, you can see it. That external beauty reflects internal efficiency. A beautiful boat is a fast boat\u2014this concept comes up again and again, because symmetry, harmony, and elegance are directly tied to performance. I really enjoy the more vintage elements too\u2014the classic rowing look has timeless charm. Personally, I appreciate when certain aspects of traditional elegance are preserved. This is a physically demanding sport, yes, but it\u2019s also deeply elegant. And I think it\u2019s right that it continues to express that identity.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Esther Austin \u2013 Oxford Boat Club:<\/b> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhat I truly love about the aesthetics of rowing\u2014and I always come back to this\u2014are the blazers. Coming here and seeing everyone in their own blazers was an unforgettable experience. <\/span><\/i><b><i>Each one is so unique: the colors, the trim\u2026 They immediately tell you which club or university someone belongs to. They\u2019re also a great conversation starter. You recognize a blazer, and suddenly you have a reason to go up to someone and chat. It creates a strong sense of connection within the global rowing community. There\u2019s a shared language in how we dress\u2014it brings people together. <\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I still remember the first time I wore the Oxford racing kit, and also the New Zealand one. Putting on your racing uniform for the first time is such a meaningful moment. You feel the history behind it, and you remember all the work it took to earn the right to wear it. It\u2019s something special.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>Alberto Ciavarro \u2013 Young Stars Torino:<\/b> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIn Italy, we don\u2019t have the same strong aesthetic tradition around uniforms that you find in some other countries. Here, people might wear different outfits to celebrate a particular regatta, or just simple tracksuits and more casual gear. Of course, our clubs have their own colors and uniforms, and when we row for the national team, we wear the Azzurro\u2014which represents us. <\/span><\/i><b><i>But we\u2019re very aware of the visual heritage of this sport. For instance, some of my teammates and I enjoy adding personal touches, like wearing caps from other countries\u2014we sometimes collect and wear them. It&#8217;s a small way of expressing identity within the broader aesthetic culture of rowing.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Miranda Clements \u2013 Cambridge Boat Club: <\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><\/i><b><i>One thing that\u2019s quite unique about rowing, compared to many other sports, is the equality in training and racing apparel: men and women wear the same gear. Unlike gymnastics or track and field, for example, we all wear the same kit, and we look the same on the water. That creates a real sense of equality. We\u2019re all on the same level, and being part of that system is something truly special. Even at mixed events like this one, there\u2019s a sense that everyone\u2019s working together, as equals. At the Olympic level too, rowing offers the same number of events for men and women\u2014that sends a powerful message. <\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the UK, especially in university rowing, women\u2019s rowing is growing rapidly and reaching near parity. That\u2019s a huge step forward, and I think having identical uniforms helps reinforce that equality. Beyond the racing kits, there are iconic events like the Henley Royal Regatta, where aesthetics shift entirely. The blazers, for example, are a cornerstone of the culture\u2014they represent tradition, pride, and belonging. Wearing one is a way of expressing where you come from and what you\u2019re part of, and that adds a rich cultural layer to the sport.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>Marco Madotti \u2013 Young Stars Piemonte:<\/b> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI really love the aesthetic of rowing. I\u2019m fascinated by how athletes dress\u2014especially in certain parts of the world, in certain universities\u2026 <\/span><\/i><b><i>But at the same time, I\u2019m also captivated by the harmony that\u2019s created when the boat hits the water and starts gliding\u2026 That overall sense of visual harmony is what inspires me most about this sport.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><script id=\"script-row-unique-8\" data-row=\"script-row-unique-8\" type=\"text\/javascript\"
