Rowing Team

My name is Emre Kubilay Oğuz. I am a 3rd grade Sport Sciences student at Sakarya University of Applied Sciences. I am 21 years old. I have been doing rowing for 8 years. I am a sportsman of Galatasaray Sports Club. I have been representing our country in the national team for 6 years. Rowing is based on endurance. In rowing, there are different categories as single, double, quadruple and octal. It is divided into two as single paddles and double paddles. Single paddles are double, quadruple and octal. Double paddles are single, double and quadruple. We do our trainings in our facilities offered by our university, but we do our field trainings in Sapanca Lake. In rowing, a maximum of eight people can row in a team. There are Turkey Rowing Championships and the Turkey Cup for adults. For young people, there are more and they can join the upper category. While rowing, we do double training for 6 days a week and a single on the remaining day. During competitions, however, this number may change. Competitions are divided into two categories as Turkey and Turkey Cup championships. This number is higher in the youth category. We have national team selection tests during the season. In addition, we go to the international competitions with these national team selection tests. According to the result of the international competitions, selections are made for the World Championship and European Championships. We represent our country there. Among my successes I have achieved so far, there are two championships in Turkey and the Balkans. In addition, I had the 5th place in the European Championship, and 9th and 5th in the World Championship. Thanks to this sport, I have disciplined myself and learned to be able to challenge myself. I wish success to the friends who will prefer Faculty of Sport Sciences at Sakarya University of Applied Sciences.
