INTERNATIONAL ROWING

REGATTA SVETI DUJE

SPLIT, CROATIA

MAY 14-15, 2022

In 2000, 175 years after the first regatta on St Domnius Day, International Rowing

Regatta Sveti Duje was restored by the Rowing Association of Dalmatia and has been

taking place every year since. The International Rowing Regatta “Sveti Duje” consists

of two competitions: Student regatta in Spinut and Legends race in front of the Riva.

The International Regatta Sveti
Duje returned to Split for the
20 th jubilee on May 14-15. For
the twentieth year, the best
European university rowing
crews were gathered in Split,
through their participation in the
Sveti Duje International Rowing
Regatta. A month after their
clash on the Thames, they had
the opportunity for a rematch at
the regatta in Split.

On May 13, the event had its
grand opening at the Meštrovič
Gallery in Split, where all the
participants, attendees and
guests gathered to have this
event being officially opened.

The first day of the Regatta, on

May 14th, started with a great

racing spirit and it consisted of

qualifying races which continued

with the grand University Eight

race.

In the women race there was

some strong competition shown

which resulted with a great final,

where the win belonged to the

University of Oxford, followed

by University of Cambrige in

the second place and University

of Split in the third place. The

joy for winning the gold medal

in the men finals, went to

University of Oxford, continuing

with University of Split 1, with

the silver medal and University

of Cambrige with the bronze

medal.

Two more races, the Exhibition

race and the Race of Legends

happened on 15 of May. Legends

of Split, Oxford and Cambridge,

alumni who have rowed in the

legendary Boat Race on the

River Thames in the last 15

years and who have won the

brightest Olympic and world

medals, competed on a 220m

long track. In this race the win

went in the hands of Oxford,

followed with Cambrigde and

Split.

The Exhibition university race

was between University of

Split, University of Zagreb and

University of Aachen, in the

waters of the beautiful river

Riva. In this race the first place
