Croatian rower Valent Sinković has been elected by athletes as a representative to the Sports Committee of World Rowing for classic rowing. The election took place during the 2026 World Rowing Championships in Amsterdam, where 19 candidates competed for four available spots. Athletes voted between August 27 and 29, selecting Sinković as one of the representatives. The Sports Committee consists of 10 members, including at least one representative each from para-rowing and coastal rowing. It serves as a liaison between active rowers and the World Rowing organization, helping shape policies and gather feedback from athletes. Sinković’s selection highlights his reputation in international rowing and is seen as recognition for both him and Croatian rowing.
