Sand, Speed & Gold

A 15-minute documentary about Austrian rower Magdalena Lobnig and Beach Sprint Rowing, the fast, unpredictable discipline that debuts at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics. From the beaches of Genoa, where she became world champion in 2024, to Antalya, where she won World Championship silver in 2025. A sprint across the sand, a battle through the surf and a final all-out race to the buzzer. With gold and silver from the sport’s two most recent World Championships, Lobnig is one of the strongest contenders on the road to LA28. The film follows her ambition and resilience on the way to one goal: Olympic gold in Los Angeles.
