In early August 2026, youth sailors from Varese, Italy, earned medals at the Travemünder Woche regatta in Germany, and the Italian Under‑19 rowing squad – featuring European champion Alizee Ribolzi – prepared for the World Championships scheduled for 6–9 August in Plovdiv, Bulgaria.

When the championships opened on Plovdiv’s artificial canal, Romania’s U19 crews secured two gold and two bronze medals, winning the men’s double sculls and women’s four, and adding podium finishes in the women’s double sculls and a second women’s four.
