The veteran women's team of Club de Rem Cia Gandia has achieved a valuable bronze medal in the 2026 Autonomous Fixed Bench Rowing Championship, held at the Real Club Náutico de Valencia.

This new success highlights the constant work and dedication of the athletes, who demonstrate that enthusiasm and discipline have no age limit. The competition, which took place this weekend, was marked by equality and the high level of the veteran women's crews.
Saturday's session began with intense rain, but the heats were contested normally. The rowers from Club de Rem Cia Gandia delivered a strong performance in the qualifiers, securing direct passage to the semifinals thanks to excellent water performance, showing their great form and team cohesion from the start.
Sunday was the day of the veteran women's final, a memorable race. The four participating boats engaged in a true sporting battle, crossing the finish line almost simultaneously and setting a spectacular time of 3'25''.

Finally, Club de Rem Cia Gandia achieved a very valuable third autonomous position. This bronze felt like gold due to the immense demands of the event and the very high level shown by all crews. The result confirms the great moment that veteran women's rowing is experiencing in the Valencian Community and highlights the effort, perseverance, and daily work of teams that have been raising the level of this category for years.

"Beyond the podium, the regatta once again reflected the essence of rowing: sacrifice, camaraderie, and self-improvement. The veteran women's team of Club de Rem Cia Gandia once again competed with character, unity, and an enormous capacity for endurance, leaving an impeccable image both on and off the water."
