After some wonderful competitions between the different
student teams that sailed into battle with their boats on the waters
of Genoa, lists were summed up and winners became clear of the
different disciplines.
Overall results.
First overall became L' Ordegno. She was in top shape and so where the bikers.They became the overall winner of the IWR 2002!
Are the
waterbiking winters better in Italy? Well, probably it also has to do
with pasta because the numbers 2 and 3 of the overall results were also
taken by Italians. Congratulations to all of you!

After the disappearing one year ago of the flag from Genoa
team, in Hamburg, Germany, no further information had been received.
Therefore they put a price, a bottle of wine, on it for the hero that
brought it back, dead or alive!
And Genoa got back their flag, finally!
The flag from the Genoa team,
Containing the text "Universita' Di Genova" and the flag signs for
"DINAV"
There was also a kind of price given to Waterbiking.org by
Fabricio, standing on the right hand side of the phot below. Stefano,
standing in the purple t-shirt on the photo next to me, tells the story
behind it:
"We are really happy to know that you present the human powered
boats for the world on the website www.waterbiking.org.
We want to tell you the story behind this trophy: I had an idea of giving
you a carsic rock (Trieste is in the middle of a Carsic zone) during one
of my Mtb tours around Trieste, four months before the IWR 2002. We wanted
to give you something characteristic form Trieste and at the same time
self made and natural, like World of Waterbiking is, and a carsic
rock was what we needed...!!! So during the next mountain bike tours I
looked around and around but none of the rock parts was "the
rock". In fact, I was looking for this one rock with a particular
design... Until ten days before the Trophy in Trieste I had not found one
satisfactory. The weekend before the races in Trieste something
happened..!!! I was walking in a very special place (with a very special
girl..) in the middle of nature on the hills with view on the sea and the
harbour of Trieste along a natural path formed by carsic rocks. And
"that rock" attracted my attention because of its particular
design. I said "I've got it!" and the trophy for the web became
real..!!!!"
"The carsic rock"
Thanking World of Waterbiking for showing the world our human powered
events.
After the price giving there was a grrreat party until
early in the morning!
Next: the final party.
