History
[edit]Siggiewi Rowing Club was established on August 25, 2016, and soon after gained observer status with the Rowing Association of Malta. The club officially became a full member of the Rowing Association of Malta on January 19, 2022, which allowed its members to participate in national and international competitions.[1]
Activities and achievements
[edit]Since its founding, the club has attracted a large number of sports enthusiasts committed to fostering sportsmanship and friendship through rowing. The club is especially noted for its work in para-rowing and brings together athletes of all ages and abilities, including para-athletes and athletes with intellectual disabilities. Club activities include sliding-seat competitions and indoor rowing, with members regularly participating in national and international events.[2]
Some significant moments in the club's history include:
- British Virtual Rowing Championship (September 2021): Oven Malia won two gold medals.
- World Rowing Championships: Isak Borg set two world records in the PR3-ID 17-18 category, including a PR3 record for 100 meters.
- National Regatta: The club made its debut with its boats and athletes on March 31, 2022, in celebration of Freedom Day.
- Traditional Rowing Races in the Grand Harbour (Valletta) (September 2021): The club participated for the first time during the European Week of Sport. A month earlier, the club rented a space in Marsa, which it uses for organizing water-based activities. Since January 2023, all land-based training is held at the Dar tal-Providenza gym, equipped with the support of various small initiatives and voluntary organizations.[3]
