2013 World Rowing Coastal Championships in Helsingborg, Sweden

Next weekend it’s time for the 2013 World Rowing Coastal Championships, held in the beautiful city of Helsingborg, in the south of Sweden. While the Swedish organisers on their website state that these championships are held between 15 and 18 August, FISA writes in an article about this event that it’s held on 15 and 16 August. Below is a promotion video about Helsingborg and costal rowing in the city, which is organised by the local rowing club, Helsingborgs Roddklubb.

Off to Sweden!

Today, I am off to Sweden for almost two weeks. To 'entertain' you HTBS readers, I will post some Famous Swedes, one person (or group) every day. Maybe you can guess who they are? There will be fourteen of them - all non-rowers, by the way.

And for your information: I will have limited access to my e-mail account, so please do not expect a quick reply if you should send me an e-mail. HTBS will resume its rowing history content on 25 October.
