Two rowing delegations prepare for the Olympics at Lac du Causse
Publié le 18 April 2025 par su_laetis
Switzerland and Mexico chose the Lac du Causse to perfect their preparations for the Paris Olympic Games. The Swiss team was on site from 11 to 21 July 2024. The Mexican team trained from 1 to 25 August 2024 in preparation for the Paralympic Games.
The Swiss team
The Swiss rowing delegation arrived in Correze on 10 July to prepare for the Olympic Games. The 27-strong team (including 7 women and 13 men) was one of the favourites. The team included 2023 world champions Roman Röösli and Andrin Gulich, as well as Raphaël AHUMADA, the world number two in the discipline!
You'll be able to watch them on Lac du Causse from 11 to 21 July. You might even catch a glimpse of them during their two training sessions on the water.
The advantages of Lac du Causse
Equipped with a finishing tower, the 84-hectare lake has several water lines and a maximum of 9 safety boats are available. Sports enthusiasts have access to the weight room and medical room located at the water sports centre, and have exclusive use of the brand new sports hall. Starting pontoons can be added if required, and all the boats can be stored in a hangar close to the training centre.
Why did you choose Lac du Causse as your preparation centre?
The coaches of the Swiss delegation were familiar with our destination. They had discovered and appreciated the facilities at Lac du Causse during the U19 European Championships in 2023. What's more, the facilities on offer were recently extended to include a new sports hall equipped with 15 ERGO machines for rowing warm-ups and training sessions, a games area and changing rooms. So this offer met all their requirements in every respect.
The Mexican team
This smaller team (3 people, including one male and one female athlete) sailed twice a day and took advantage of the accommodation on site.
