In this high-energy 15-minute documentary, Austrian rowing star Magdalena Lobnig takes on Beach Sprint Rowing—the fast, unpredictable new Olympic discipline making its debut at Los Angeles 2028.


From the golden shores of Genova, where she became 2024 World Champion, to Antalya, where she claimed World Championship silver in 2025, Magdalena’s journey reveals the intensity behind this explosive format: 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 emerging as one of the strongest contenders on the road to LA28. Sand, Speed & Gold follows her ambition, resilience and relentless pursuit of one ultimate goal: Olympic gold in Los Angeles.
