"Now I cry" - Martino Goretti (ITA), World Champion ML1X

The words of Martino Goretti after winning the 2019 World Championships Lightweight Men’s Single Sculls – A-Final

“Now I cry. I said before this regatta that this would be my last world champs. Now I am old enough to quit. When the LM4- was canceled I lost my Olympic dream. I thought the sport was no longer for me, then I discovered rowing in the single and realized I could still enjoy it.”

It's never easy

Congratulations Martino Goretti (ITA) for the fastest time in the Quarter Finals.

Martino said to the race commentators that he is using RANDALLfoils to get the 'feel' of a solid catch and for that extra hold. The foils really helped him make the change from sweep to sculling giving a similar feel through the water.

Martino Goretti uses the RANDALLfoil at the World Championships

The Italian Olympic single sculler Martino Goretti becomes the first 'elite' to use the RANDALLfoil design at an international regatta. On the first day of the World Championships, Martino came 1st in his heat by 40 meters with the fastest time of the day.

Martino has been training with the design since the European Rowing Championships and gaining Italian national selection using the RANDALLfoil. During the qualifying race, Martino had a clear lead at 500m and held his position with a winning margin of two boat lengths.

"I really don't understand why the rowing world has been so slow to adopt the design? This thing, in my opinion, is really game-changing" Martino Goretti

Like all top athletes, Martino's true performance comes from something deep within himself formed from years of struggle and sacrifice. A strip of plastic can add nothing to this.
