I would appreciate it if you could correct your news, as in the equality challenges, the winning club was not CN Campello, but rather CN Jávea with its JÁVEA-A team, which took the victory by winning the A final and achieving the best race time in all rounds. The JÁVEA-B team achieved a commendable 5th place. Thank you, and I hope you will take note of the error. Best regards, Valentina García Vives (Rowing Coordinator, CN Jávea).
