Lausanne, The Olympic Capital played host to a delightful and healthy breakfast at La Maison du Sport International (MSI). World Rowing donated a Concept 2 indoor rower to the MSI fitness room for the use of the employees working in the MSI. The President of World Rowing, Jean-Christophe Rolland gave us a nice speech. Adding a fun twist to the event, Jodie Cameron, the newly appointed Healthy Sports Organisations™ Ambassador, representing World Rowing demonstrated fundamental techniques on the ERG. It was a fantastic opportunity for all International Sports Organisations to network and exchange ideas and to learn more about the sport of rowing. We're grateful for these opportunities to connect, learn - and stay healthy! Thank you for joining us and thank you to World Rowing for the donation and expertise. #employeehealth #sport #lausanne #sportmotivation #concept2
