The strong winds that were blowing on the Karteros Beach did not make it possible for the Rowing Beach Sprint events to take place on Tuesday 12 September. As a consequence, the final decision was made to cancel the races.

Initially, the program opened with the rows in the men’s single (C1x), but there were many problems due to the waves and, for the safety of the athletes, the Organizing Committee and the Racing Committee decided the definite cancellation of the races. A temporary postponement was even granted, but nothing changed as the strong winds continued.

Thus, according to the rules, the final rankings in all five events at the 3rd Mediterranean Beach Games were decided by the latest results. In the men’s single with Tuesday’s quarter-final and the remaining four events from the trials held on Sunday September 10th.

It was Spain that dominated, winning all five gold medals in their respective events!
