ROWING TOURNAMENT

The match will be a board to board race over a distance of 750 metres. One on one races according to a knock-out system; if you win, you progress to the next round, but if you lose, you are out of the tournament. There are two lanes for the match and a uprowing-area.

GOOD TO KNOW

If it is not possible for you to bring your own boat, you can also make use of our boat rental option. A fee is applicable if you wish to hire a boat. The exact amount of the fee is not known yet, but it is expected that this will be around € 30 per participant. Please indicate upon registration that you wish to hire a boat, and the organisers will contact you at a later stage with more information.

When asked for your partner’s name / team members’ names in the registration, we also kindly ask to you provide their registration number, if known and available.

LOCATION

The rowing tournament will be held on the Spiegelwaal, a side arm of the river Waal that flows along Nijmegen.

AMBASSADOR

Name: Hans Perrée

During 1996 while preparing for the rowing competitions in the Gay Games Amsterdam with John Avis, I was quite skeptical about the usefulness and necessity of special competitions for LGBTQI+ people. In my own rowing career my homosexuality has never been an issue. However, what I discovered during the rowing races on the Bosbaan was the incredible amount of fun we had — and perhaps because of that it was even more sport-like — than all the Rotsee Regattas and rowing World Championships than I had ever experienced. If that was true for me, what must be going through the minds of LGBTQI+ athletes from Albania or Bulgaria… That week in August ’96 and the OutGames and EuroGames in which I participated afterwards, firmly convinced me of the significance of events for the emancipation of LGBTQI+ people. Being able to exercise with people you recognize yourself in, without fear of insults or offensive comments is an incredible experience. That is why I am unreservedly a EuroGames Nijmegen 2022 ambassador.
