CRFlamengo won the title of champion of the 2nd State Rowing Regatta 2007, on the morning of this Sunday (21/10), at the Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas Rowing Stadium.

With a total of six events won (4 with Senior B, 4 without Junior A, Four Master Sculls, Single Sculls Junior B, Four Senior Sculls A and Double Sculls Junior A), Flamengo almost managed to reverse the medal table and move ahead of Vasco da Gama in the State Championship. The Cruzmaltino remains in the lead of the Championship, with a lead of 15 points.

According to information from the Rio de Janeiro Rowing Federation's technical committee, Flamengo scored 84 points in the Regatta and 68 in the Championship in Sunday's Regatta. Vasco scored 75 and 67 points, respectively. Vasco da Gama currently has 151 points in the Regatta and 137 in the Championship, while Flamengo has 154 points in the Regatta and 122 points in the State Championship.  

A highlight was the 4 Sem Junior A crew (pictured), recently crowned Brazilian champions in this category, who, with great determination, overcame their opponents this Sunday. Flamengo achieved a double in two events that also deserve mention: Four Skiff Master C and Single Skiff Junior B. The red-and-black rowers honored the colors of the Clube da Gávea flag by crossing the finish line in first and second place in both events.

This Sunday's victory came at an excellent time for the Flamengo Club. This Monday, the 22nd, Guilherme Augusto do Eirado Silva, known as Buck, would have turned 80. Buck was responsible for the club's glorious rowing victories in the 80s and 90s, and he made his mark on the history of the sport that gave birth to Clube de Regatas do Flamengo, Brazil's Most Beloved.
