Emanuele Romoli (born 20 March 1957, in Desio, Italy) is an Italian indoor rower and coach.
Rowing career
The first success in the practice of indoor rowing comes in 2001 with the victory of the gold medal at the Italian championships. In 2005 he returned to winning the national championship, which he will repeat uninterruptedly until 2012. In 2007 he also triumphs abroad with victories in the British Indoor Rowing Championships, in the French one and, above all, in the European championship, in which he conquered both the individual title and the relay title. In 2008 he took part in the CRASH-B Sprints winning the silver medal in the Lightweights Veteran Man 50–54 category.
In the following decade, national champion was reconfirmed (both at individual and team level) and continental, where, besides the European alloro, he also completed his palmares with four affirmations in the German Ergoregatta. Confirmed vice-world champion in 2013, just one tenth of a second from the time established by the Canadian Steve Roedde in the Lightweights Veteran Man 55–59 category. However, the world gold medal came in 2018 in the Lightweights Veteran Man 60–64 category, to which he followed a few days after the 12th individual Italian title.
In the 2018 season he achieved further victories at the BRIC, the 4th win at the Ergoregatta and further individual Italian titles on both distances, while between 2019 and 2020 adds a silver medal to the European championships in Prague, in addition to individual and team victories in the British and Italian championship.
During 2021, the year in which international competitions were held remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the season opens with the third place at the MAIF Open France and second place at CIRC, the Canadian Indoor rowing Championship. The most important victories of the year, however, are the second affirmation at the C.R.A.S.H.-B. Sprints in the lightweight category and above all the silver medal in the first edition of the new world championships.
