The Malagasy is already a world-wide bicampoon of Remo Mar

The Malagasy Adrián Miramón has crowned, for the second year in a row, the World of Remo de Mar champion, in the world event that has been held this weekend in Monaco and in which four ships from the Royal Mediterranean Club have participated. Although all the Malagasy ships have gone to the final, this championship has been closed with mixed feelings, as to the joy of Miramón's triumph, it must be added that two other ships with podium aspirations, the female C4x + and the Adolfo Ferrer C1x, were left out of the fight due to a kind of unfortunate incidents.

Adrián Miramón finished 6,000 metres from the final of C1x in 28: 49.94; the second square was for Peruvian Eduardo Linares, who entered 6 seconds later and third, Swedish Dennis Gustavsson, at 20.99 seconds. Adolfo Ferrer concluded seventh with a 30: 11.56, 1: 21.62 of the winner. Despite this success, the renewed World Champion did not start the championship well. Even though he was a favorite and a defender of the title, achieved last year in Peru, in the elimination sleeve he was surprisingly third, because he had problems with the ship. After this first race, the remer of the Mediterranean RC tested with another boat and other measures.

In the final, and thanks to this change, the Malagasy came out from the first moment in the head and was sending in the race from the beginning to the end, with a state of the sea with many waves, which also favored him. For his part, Adolfo Ferrer made a spectacular race in his elimination, which he won; however, in the end he was crossed by a French remer at the exit with which he crashed, which made him waste time and deprived him of all the possibilities of getting on the podium, as he did last year, with a bronze.

Statements by Adrián Miramón
"In the end I came with regular impressions because at the disposal I took a ship that I had never tried and did nothing right. I went very bad and there were times in the race that I thought I was out of the final. This forced me to make a boat change and I made a shot with him and from the very first moment I adapted very well. The new ship gave me a lot of confidence for the final. From the beginning, at the start, I first placed myself and the one who went second at first hit the buoy and the one who went third, a Tunisian, did a rare crossing maneuver and collided with those who went behind. I was very relieved of that situation, which allowed me to consolidate the first position. I just had some orientation problem with the situation of some buoy, which always happens to me. It has been a relatively comfortable race and I am very happy with the result, as on this occasion I did not expect to be world champion at all."
