As usual, the competition between men's eights representing the University of Wroclaw and the Wroclaw University of Technology, scheduled on 29 May, is going to be the tournament's highlight. "Our crew is now training hard, we're going to descend on water for the first time this year next week," says Paweł Rańda, President of the Wroclaw University of Technology Sports Academic Club.
The second day of the tournament is going to simply burst with excitement. On Saturday 30 May, the races will be held from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. The tournament has attracted over 20 different crews.
On Sunday 31 May, the wharf of the newly renovated former riverside hostel plays host to a huge family picnic to celebrate Children's Day. "There will be one more event going on in Wyspa Słodowa, and it's going to be more sophisticated, while ours is just one huge load of sports attractions for the entire family," says Paweł Rańda. "You will also be able to jump on the water tram to see which event is more enjoyable."
