Cus Venezia, with a crew made up of Ca' Foscari and Iuav universities together, won the International University Rowing Challenge. The team from Copenhagen came second, while Padua University won the final for third and fourth place.

In fourth place were the rowers from the University of Vienna. The team of the University of Ljubljana, which came in fifth, paraded during the procession of the Historical Regatta.

Tiziana Lippiello, Rector of Ca’ Foscari, commented: "I would like to thank all the crews and universities that accepted our invitation and gave life one more time to this splendid challenge".

The competition, now in its 19th edition (12th as an international challenge), took place in the Grand Canal on Sunday 3 September, during the most important Venetian rowing event: the Regata Storica (Historical Regatta).
