China Marks 90th Anniversary of Long March Victory With Cultural Exhibition<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nZhang and Sun made a strong start in the women\u2019s double sculls final, establishing an early lead before maintaining their advantage to the finish. The pair avoided collisions involving rival crews around the turning buoys to secure the title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe waves were really big during the race, and at one point I wasn\u2019t sure how things would turn out. But we performed well throughout, and I\u2019m proud that we were able to win for our country,\u201d Sun said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zhang said the race demanded quick decisions when navigating the turning buoys, adding that winning a world title in her home province of Shandong made the achievement particularly special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Americans Kory Rogers and Christopher Bak won the men\u2019s double sculls, overcoming challenging wind conditions. \u201cYou can\u2019t tell on camera, but the wind is really strong today; the surface of the water is pretty flat, but you really felt that heavy, heavy wind. We kept pushing. You never know what can happen on a buoy,\u201d Bak said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
France\u2019s Alexis Fortier produced a late comeback to win the men\u2019s solo title, edging Bak by just 0.79 seconds after recovering from an early setback. \u201cI was involved in a clash at the second buoy and I lost some ground, then I managed to catch up person by person and got past. I never gave up and carried on to the finish. It went well and I\u2019m very happy,\u201d Fortier said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The United States also won the women\u2019s solo and women\u2019s coxed quadruple sculls titles, while Italy took gold in the men\u2019s coxed quadruple sculls and Finland prevailed in the mixed double sculls. The U.S. topped the medal table with three golds and two silvers and received the national federation trophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Qingdao will next host the World Rowing Beach Sprint Finals, beginning October 18. Beach sprint rowing, which combines a running start on the beach with a short rowing course, will make its Olympic debut at the 2028 Los Angeles Games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
