Luis Miguel Oliver Cañadas since noon this Sunday is no longer the president of the Spanish rowing, since he presented his irrevocable resignation in the Extraordinary Assembly. This strange situation in the world of rowing will bring about elections as soon as possible. The meeting was held at the High Council of Sports, and it was a secret to voices... as the Catalan was being very much discussed since practically his appointment, which was taking place last December. Oliver's situation was not easy, as he had no confidence in the Assembly, which had not yet approved the current year's budgets. The fight for the federal poltrone has already begun, in an essential and highly prestigious sport, which has not just led to its international role, with quite poor Olympic performances in recent years.
