2023 is on track to be a good year for the mobile bank in Orio. His men’s senior eight has hit the key and has reached a level unattainable for his rivals. They already won the Gipuzkoa and Euskadi long-distance championships in January, prevailed a week ago in the International Regatta -before crews of the level of Labradores, Porto, Grenoble and Nantes- and this Saturday they beat Hondarribia in the classic Gipuzkoan duel, with permission of Ur Kirolak, the third entrant in the eights territorial championship. The Oriotarras proved to have the most competitive eight in Gipuzkoa today, which is equivalent to being the best in Euskadi. Hondarribia held his start, but as the regatta progressed the difference gradually fell in favor of the yellows. At the end of the 1,500 meters of travel that the Oria allows upon arrival at the town bridge, the advantage was over four seconds. The winners stopped the clock at 4:28.94 and Hondarribia needed a time of 4:33.01. Ur Kirolak’s time was 5:05.68. Coach Jon Salsamendi made just one change to the lineup that won the International Regatta. A modification forced by the injury of Leandro Salvagno. Taking his place was Koxme Burutaran, a rower permanently concentrated in Seville with the U-23 team to prepare for international events such as the World Cup. The man from San Sebastián with an Orio file joined his teammates on Thursday and, as coach Jon Salsamendi confessed, “we had some concern about this change, in addition to what it could bring in a haggling field in the estuary with the wind or the currents. Fortunately, the boat has responded well and the rowers say they are enjoying it.” With Iñaki Díaz as helmsman, Mikel Lizarralde, Jon Olaizola, Jon Carazo, Joseba Rodríguez, Jon Lizarralde, Javier Sayans, Koxme Burutaran and Oihan Gozategi rowed for Orio. Hondarribia’s eighth was made up of Xabier Olaskoaga, Aimar Kanpandegi, Beñat Egiazu, Xabier Irigaray, Ibai Camarero, Ander Legazkue, Iker Uharte, Mattin Colas and Iker de la Linde as helmsman. Eight of the nine began their sports career in the club’s youth ranks and the team’s average age is 22 years. The revenge will come on Monday in Legutio, with the Euskadi championship (2,000 meters).
