Dear friends,
I received the news of the death of Mr. Davide Tizziano with deep sorrow.
He went from being a top rower, a two-time Olympic champion to the president of the Italian Rowing Federation. His life’s strokes were strong, decisive and victorious. Only this time he crossed the finish line too early.
He was a sincere friend of the Croatian Rowing Federation, a valuable collaborator and colleague. We will miss him. Please accept our sincere condolences.

President of the Croatian Rowing Federation
Željko Kisić

Speciale “Ciao, Presidente!”
