From June 29 to July 5, the Revienta Cordeles track in Cienfuegos will host rowing in the sixtieth edition of the School Games (JE), a discipline with tradition and roots in this province.

But we are ready to begin and the expectations of Cienfuegos for this year cannot be other than recovering the hegemony that the Yumurinos took from us in 20023.”
Rowing in Cienfuegos is culture, identity, local heritage, so much so that it is the sport that brings the most medals to the province in multiple events in the area. Preserving this winning tradition is the commitment of athletes and coaches of the territory for the sixtieth edition of the JE
