Starting next Monday (February 11), the Brazilian rowing team will be training at Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas in Rio de Janeiro. It will be the first time the entire group will be together after qualifying for the Beijing Olympics in August.

Thiago Almeida and Thiago Gomes, CRFlamengo's representatives in the Brazilian national team's lightweight Double Sculls, will have no trouble adapting.

Training daily in two periods (morning and afternoon) since qualifying last November, the rowers will welcome the other team members, who will remain in the city of Rio until April.

The training sessions, which will take place on Wednesday mornings (7am to 8:30am) and Fridays (16:30pm to 18:30pm), will be open to the press.
