We got Guillermina wet on the 5 of May, Christian insisted on rowing her in his first competicion on the 18th of May. It was a big regatta of the Spanish rowing club here in Mexico city, Chris was competing in age group 10-12 years as the youngest rower in this regatta. I tried to get him to use another lighter boat, because Guillermina has a weight of 24 Kg against the weight of 14 Kg of the profesional racing shells, he is proud of Guillermina, we build it I use it he said.
THIS GUY CAN ROW, he came in third, fighting like a demon, with 10 Kg extra to carry, against boys 2-3 years older, the question is who is more proud, Vladimir, Christian or I , if Guillermina has a soul, she was proud to.As you can se on the picture she lifts her nose out of the water trying to fly.
Just before the goal line, does he look tired, no sir, on the last 100 meters he left No. 4 wide behind, I had to run like Ben Johnson to get the picture.
On the 6th of July 2002 Christian was competing in 8ther with timonel, as Vladimir do not have enough boys in this age, he had to lend boys from other clubs to get a full 8ther, these eight guyes did not train together before the competition. Vladimir is a witch with youngsters, he put these boys together and told them to do their things as best they could.In competition with well trained teams from all of Mexico they took a Silver medal.
The 8ther team get their medals, this is Christian's first Silver medal, now we're waiting for the GOLD
