Shanghai Rowing Club

Tonight we not only say goodbye to our lovely captain, but to a man who led us through the worst and the best , to someone who accepted the hard endeavor to give his free time for the SRC community. Life decided to play hard on Alex but he reacted with style, he fought back and gained his stature back, tonight we not only say goodbye to our captain, but to a survivor, who showed us the most important is not what we are chasing every day but what we are building for tomorrow. Tonight we not only say goodbye to our captain but to a friend, who stood up for us, good or bad, he was there. Tonight we don’t... tonight we cry, and that is fine. Rowing is about sharing, sharing the same pain in the boat, sharing the same pleasure on the line. Our captain did that for us, and now we do this for him.

When we realize that he did this for free, just for the love of rowing , then we can really understand what SRC is about. As I have the privilege to be able to post a notice, I want to thank personally Alex for the positive energy he brought to SRC. Alex you have been the best Captain SRC could dream of, one of the most successful rower of new SRC and definitely one of the best companion I could wish for. On behalf of SRC let me wish you all the best for the future and be sure that you will always be welcome home, in Shanghai, at SRC
