Back on top! Flamengo is the Brazilian short boat champion for the eighth consecutive time

FlaRemo returned to the highest place on the podium. This Sunday (1), on the traditional course of the University of São Paulo, Flamengo won, once again, the Brazilian Short Boat Championship and achieved its eighth consecutive title in the competition, a hegemony that has been maintained since 2019.

The weekend of triumphs began on Saturday, when Flamengo secured the qualification of 26 athletes for the Brazilian national teams in 2026. Of the 37 rowers who traveled to São Paulo, 26 secured a spot, a number that could still increase, as the Coastal Rowing competitions are scheduled for April. On Sunday, they won 14 medals in 13 events: five golds, five silvers, and four bronzes. A result worthy of a team that hasn't lost the Brazilian Short Boat Championship in eight seasons.

Having been in charge of the department for 71 days, head coach Mauro de Oliveira highlighted the importance of planning and internal alignment for the success achieved in the capital of São Paulo.

“The victory of Clube de Regatas do Flamengo in São Paulo reinforces the strength of a structured and well-aligned work. Since I took over the department, we have organized a plan based on scientific training models, with clear periodization, load control, and consistent strength development. In a short time, we managed to give direction and method to the process. Another fundamental point was the athletes' commitment. There was commitment, openness to dialogue, and maturity to understand the changes implemented. Transparency in communication between the coaching staff and athletes was decisive in consolidating trust and aligning expectations. The victories achieved throughout the competition reflect this collective work. Flamengo emerged victorious once again in the Brazilian Championship, showing that organization, method, and unity make a difference in decisive moments. We continue working to further strengthen the project and keep Flamengo always a protagonist in national rowing,” he concluded.
