</div><!-- .entry-header-inner --> </header><!-- .entry-header --> <div class="post-inner thin "> <div class="entry-content"> <p> Racing begins on 22 March and goes through until 24 March, 2013. Read on about the athletes to look out for as they come out of off-season training. </p> <p> <strong>Women’s Pair (W2-)</strong></p> <p> There are some big names amongst the entries in this event. The United States has put together a pair of two of their Olympic Champions from the eight – Meghan Musnicki and Caroline Lind. Also entered is another pair with Taylor Ritzel from the Olympic Champion eight and Sara Hendershot who rowed in the pair at the London Olympics. As these rowers train and trial in pairs, both crews will be quick.</p> <p> The American competition is bound to give London Olympic Champion in the pair, Helen Glover of Great Britain, something to think about. As Glover’s Olympic partner is taking a year off from rowing, Glover is teamed up with Polly Swann. Swann last competed two years ago on the British team but there is no telling what she will do when paired with the best in the world.</p> <p> Adding strength to this event is Great Britain’s second crew of Katie Greves and Jessica Eddie. Both of these rowers have the experience of two Olympic cycles behind them and in London they raced together in the women’s eight that competed in the Olympic A-final.</p> <p> Keep an eye out too for China. The two youthful crews include three members of last year’s winning women’s four from the World Rowing Junior Championships.</p> <p> <strong>Men’s Pair (M2-)</strong></p> <p> The level of depth in this field is not huge which means the odds are on that London Olympic silver medallists Germain Chardin and Dorian Mortelette of France may have an easy ride. The post-Olympic year, however, is always an interesting time with up-and-coming athletes being revealed. There is also the factor of Olympic athletes taking a break. If Chardin and Mortelette are up to fitness they will certainly be a strong force.</p> <p> The French have also paired up Julien Despres and Benjamin Lang as a competitive combination. Despres won an Olympic bronze medal in the four at the 2008 Beijing Olympics while Lang finished second last year at the World Rowing Championships in the men’s coxed pair.</p> <p> Representing Australia, David Watts and Matthew Cochran are bronze medallists from 2012 at world under-23 level in the men’s eight. The duo also competed together in the men’s pair at the 2010 Youth Olympic Games where they won bronze. They have the experience of familiarity but will be up against their country’s number one crew of Bryn Coudraye and James McRae. McRae was part of the London Olympic men’s quadruple sculls that medalled in third while Coudraye raced in London in the men’s eight.</p> <p> <strong>Women’s Double Sculls (W2x)</strong></p> <p> For the first time in the last three years on the international rowing stage, this event is like a clean slate with brand new combinations racing. To add to the puzzle, or perhaps surprise element, the athletes entered come to the double from a variety of boat classes.</p> <p> The three-year dominating double of Katherine Grainger and Anna Watkins (GBR) are out of the picture – at least for now – so coaches must be eyeing up the potential for colourful medals in this event.</p> <p> China’s entries include their best single sculler Xiuyun Zhang teamed up with international newcomer Fei Wang. But they are entered as crew number three with Liang Tian and Yangyang Zhang the number one crew. Tian and Zhang both raced at the London Olympics in the women’s quadruple sculls that finished fifth, while Zhang has an Olympic Champions title in the quad from Beijing.</p> <p> Great Britain has entered two crews, both with London Olympians from the women’s eight and women’s quadruple sculls. The number two crew includes four-time Olympian and two-time Olympic silver medallist Frances Houghton.</p> <p> When looking for top medal contenders, however, the United States duo of Megan Kalmoe and Esther Lofgren are a good choice. Kalmoe, a London Olympic medallist from the quad, has regularly spent time racing in the double throughout her rowing career while Lofgren has the power and fight that comes from being a London Olympic Champion in the eight.</p> <p> <strong>Men’s Double Sculls (M2x)</strong></p> <p> New Zealand rowers have completed their summer season and come to Sydney following recent comprehensive national team trials. Out of these trials Michael Arms and Robert Manson were selected for the men’s double. Barring misfortune they will remain in the double through to the 2013 World Rowing Championships.</p> <p> Knowing this means that there is little doubt that Arms and Manson are considered world class and currently racing fit. The duo started training late last year after racing together at the London Olympic Games in the men’s quadruple sculls.</p> <p> Also coming to the double from the London Olympic men’s quad event are Allar Raja and Kaspar Taimsoo. This classy Estonian duo finished fourth in London and also competed at the 2008 Games in the quad. Estonia may have a small elite rowing contingent, but they race strong and they race to win.</p> <p> <strong>Men’s Four (M4-)</strong></p> <p> Australians see this event as one of their favourites. After the ‘Oarsome Foursome’ won at both the 1992 and 1996 Olympic Games, the nation’s love affair with the four was cemented. At the London Olympics the four finished a close second. For Sydney, two boats have been entered and a clean bill of health has been granted to the boat that includes three of the four London silver medallists – William Lockwood, James Chapman and Joshua Dunkley-Smith<br /> .<br /> The other crew is made up of 2012 under-23 representatives who finished second in the men’s eight at the World Rowing Under 23 Championships.</p> <p> Australia’s nemesis in this event is Great Britain. The British have taken gold at the last four Olympic Games and it is regularly their flagship men’s boat. For Sydney a new crew has been put together made up of athletes that have come through from the national under-23 team over the last couple of years.</p> <p> Into this mix is New Zealand’s crew that includes one member of their London Olympic four. Jade Uru, in bow, is the most experienced member of this crew with one of his teammates coming from the 2012 under-23 squad and the remaining two having been part of New Zealand’s men’s eight that just missed out on qualifying for the London Olympics.</p> <p> <strong>Lightweight Women’s Double Sculls (LW2x)</strong></p> <p> Asian crews feature strongly in this event with entries from Vietnam, Hong Kong, Korea and Indonesia as well as China. Of the Asian entries China has the most experience with both athletes having international experience. Miao Wang competed last year in the lightweight women’s single sculls while her partner, Xiujuan Song represented China back in 2004.</p> <p> This is one of the biggest events in terms of entries and the top contenders may well be New Zealand’s Julia Edward and Lucy Strack. Edward competed in the lightweight double at the London Olympics and at the 2012 Samsung World Rowing Cup in Lucerne she also helped set the new World Best Time in this event with then partner Louise Ayling. Strack missed out on the Olympic boat but still went on to row in the lightweight single at the 2012 World Rowing Championships. She finished sixth.</p> <p> There is likely to be strong competition for New Zealand from Great Britain. The British have a very competitive lightweight women’s squad and although neither of the duo entered in Sydney (Kathryn Twyman and Imogen Walsh) made the London Olympic boat, they trained like Olympians competing in other events during 2012.</p> <p> Australia’s Alice McNamara is bringing with her the experience of competing in the lightweight double in three World Championship A-finals during the previous Olympic cycle. This experience will be combined with the freshness of Maia Simmonds, who began competing internationally in 2011.</p> <p> The Canadian entry is an interesting combination. Both athletes competed at the 2012 World Rowing Championships in the lightweight women’s quadruple sculls, but for different countries. Lindsay Sferrazza finished eighth for Canada while Jaclyn Halko was first for Poland. Now back in Canada, Halko will add a lot to the Canadian boat.</p> <p> <strong>Lightweight Men’s Double Sculls (LM2x)</strong></p> <p> It will be hard to look past the Portuguese duo of Pedro Fraga and Nuno Mendes. As Portugal’s best rowers, Fraga and Mendes have been together in the double since 2004 and now have two Olympic Games under their belts. Both rowers have committed to continuing through to Rio 2016 and this Sydney regatta will be the beginning of their four-year journey. Neither athlete has been idle since the London Olympics with Fraga putting himself forward as a regular competitor at winter indoor rowing competitions.</p> <p> The main competition for Portugal may come from Great Britain’s Richard Chambers and Adam Freeman-Pask. Both of these rowers are new to the lightweight double this season but both have very solid credentials. Chambers won Olympic silver in London and two World Championship titles in the lightweight men’s four while Freeman-Pask has procured wins at the World Cup level in the lightweight men’s single and pair.</p> <p> Keep an eye out too for China. Their two crews entered have experience at the international level.</p> <p> <strong>Lightweight Men’s Four (LM4-)</strong></p> <p> When there are two London Olympic silver medallists in the boat, odds are that the crew will do the business. That is the case for Great Britain’s entry which includes Olympians Chris Bartley and Peter Chambers. The two remaining members, Chris Boddy and Jonathan Clegg both had success at last year’s European Rowing Championships. This is surely the crew to watch.</p> <p> Lining up against the British will be a very determined New Zealand boat. Two of the members, James Lassche and Curtis Rapley just missed out on London at the Final Olympic Qualification Regatta last year and now have their sights set on getting to Rio. Lassche and Rapley have been joined by London Olympic bronze medallist from the lightweight men’s double sculls Peter Taylor and the young up-and-coming James Hunter. Hunter, 20, raced on the under-23 team last year and has stepped up to this senior level in a very short space of time.</p> <p> Watch out too for Australia who have used three members of their 2012 lightweight men’s eight to build this crew.</p> <p> <strong>Women’s Quadruple Sculls (W4x)</strong></p> <p> Taking three members of the United States Olympic Champion women’s eight and putting them in the women’s quadruple sculls is an interesting strategy. Esther Lofgren, Susan Francia and Eleanor Logan add another oar to their hands to compete in this event. They are joined by 2012 Olympic bronze medallist from the quad Megan Kalmoe to complete a boat that could surprise. All four members are also racing in other events.</p> <p> China’s two entries have members that are doubling up to race in the women’s double sculls as well. China’s number one crew is made up of members from the London Olympic Chinese quad that finished fifth with one member, Yangyang Zhang an Olympic Champion in this event from the 2008 Beijing Olympics.</p> <p> Zhang’s crew could give the Americans a run for their money.</p> <p> The Australians have grabbed three members of their under-23 World Champion quad (Jessica Hall, Madeleine Edmunds and Olympia Aldersey) and added former under-23 team member Sarah Perkins. How well will this crew step up to the senior level? If their racing at last year’s World Rowing Under 23 Championships is anything to go by, Australia will be tough competition.</p> <p> There is also plenty of potential in the British boat. This crew is made up of national team squad members who have recently been on the edge of breaking into the top boats. Stroking the boat is Olivia Carnegie-Brown who raced at the European Rowing Championships in 2012 and won medals in both the women’s pair and eight.</p> <p> <strong>Men’s Quadruple Sculls (M4x)</strong></p> <p> Leading up to the New Zealand’s national team trials earlier this month, 2012 Olympic Champion from the men’s double sculls Nathan Cohen stated that he wanted to be in the quad this season. His wishes were granted with the bonus of younger brother Hayden also making the crew. This crew could make waves especially as Hayden and Nathan Flannery come to the senior team having won the 2012 under-23 men’s double.</p> <p> But the British are sending some big guns. In the boat are three London Olympians including the men’s double of Bill Lucas and Sam Townsend and Charles Cousins who raced in the London quadruple sculls. All of them raced in the Olympic A-final.</p> <p> There will be stiff competition coming from the Australian’s too. The boat has been built around Christopher Morgan who won bronze at the London Olympics in this event. Morgan is joined by two members of the Olympic eight (Nicholas Purnell and Thomas Swann) and up-and-coming rower Shane Jackson.</p> <p> <strong>Women’s Eight (W8+)</strong></p> <p> The gold and silver medallists from the London Olympics – the United States and Canada – will be lining up in Sydney. These two countries have been battling it out at the head of the field for the last couple of years with the USA consistently holding the edge.</p> <p> For the Sydney regatta, the United States has retained three members of their Olympic Champion crew with the remainder made up of those hovering on the edge of breaking into the eight. The Canadian crew will line up with four members the same as in London, including the unstoppable coxswain Lesley Thompson-Willie.</p> <p> There is little doubt that these two North American crews will be battling it out at the front of the field.</p> <p> But, in this very well-represented field, there may be some surprises. Great Britain finished fifth at the London Olympics in the eight and they have retained three of those athletes with the added boost of Olympic Champion from the pair, Helen Glover. Australia has also retained a bunch (five to be exact) from their London Olympic crew.</p> <p> <strong>Men’s Single Sculls (M1x)</strong></p> <p> It will be a chance for some new faces to be on the medals podium in this event as all of the top men’s single scullers are not in attendance. Such is the post-Olympic year that many athletes are taking an extended break before getting back into intense full-time training.</p> <p> This could be a chance for Bulgaria’s Georgi Bozhilov to step up. Bozhilov was third at last year’s European Rowing Championships and showed very good boat speed. It could also be a chance for German lightweight rower Jost Schoemann-Finck to show the bigger guys how to race. Schoemann-Finck was unlucky not to make his country’s Olympic team in 2012, so he decided to have an extended training stint in Sydney. This means that Germany’s sole representative at this regatta is very well acclimatised to local conditions.</p> <p> Watch out too for Great Britain (Jonathan Walton) and Australia (Kieran Kobelke). They have both been on their respective national teams and must have impressed selectors.</p> <p> <strong>Women’s Single Sculls (W1x)</strong></p> <p> The eyes of Australia will be on this race as their hero from the London Olympic Games, Kim Crow is racing. Crow was the only rower in London to race in two events – not only that, she medalled twice – bronze in the women’s single sculls and silver in the women’s double sculls.</p> <p> Crow was one of the first on the Australian team to announce her intentions of aiming for Rio and also one of the first to get back into training following the 2012 Games. On home waters in front of a home crowd this will be a chance for Crow to make an impression.</p> <p> The very experienced Xiuyun Zhang of China may be Crow’s toughest competition. Zhang is a three-time Olympian with her biggest success coming at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics when she took silver in the women’s double sculls. In London, she was sixth in the women’s single. Zhang will also be competing in Sydney in the women’s double.</p> <p> Keep an eye out for two Olympic Champions normally seen in an eight – Americans Susan Francia and Eleanor Logan who will also be doubling up in the women’s quad.</p> <p> <strong>Men’s Eight (M8+)</strong></p> <p> It will be extremely hard to look past the big names in the men’s eight from Great Britain. Three of the Olympic Champion men’s four have crowded into the front half of the boat with Andrew Triggs Hodge in stroke seat. Three members of the bronze medal Olympic eight, including coxswain Phelan Hill, are in there as well.</p> <p> The only crew that may have a chance of getting close to the British are the United States. In London the US were fourth and three of those crew members are back for Sydney. There are also two members of the 2011 World Champion under-23 eight including stroke-man Michael Gennaro.</p> </div><!-- .entry-content --> </div><!-- .post-inner --> <div class="section-inner"> </div><!-- .section-inner --> </article><!-- .post --> <hr class="post-separator styled-separator is-style-wide section-inner" aria-hidden="true" /> <article class="post-11792 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-elite category-world-rowing-cup" id="post-11792"> <header class="entry-header has-text-align-center"> <div class="entry-header-inner section-inner medium"> <div class="entry-categories"> <span class="screen-reader-text"> Categories </span> <div class="entry-categories-inner"> <a href="https://worldrowing-admin.soticcloud.net/category/elite/" rel="category tag">Elite</a> <a href="https://worldrowing-admin.soticcloud.net/category/world-rowing-cup/" rel="category tag">World Rowing Cup</a> </div><!-- .entry-categories-inner --> </div><!-- .entry-categories --> <h2 class="entry-title heading-size-1"><a href="https://worldrowing-admin.soticcloud.net/2013/03/27/firsts-for-korea-in-sydney/">Firsts for Korea in Sydney</a></h2> <div class="post-meta-wrapper post-meta-single post-meta-single-top"> <ul class="post-meta"> <li class="post-author meta-wrapper"> <span class="meta-icon"> <span class="screen-reader-text"> Post author </span> <svg class="svg-icon" aria-hidden="true" role="img" focusable="false" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="18" height="20" viewBox="0 0 18 20"><path fill="" d="M18,19 C18,19.5522847 17.5522847,20 17,20 C16.4477153,20 16,19.5522847 16,19 L16,17 C16,15.3431458 14.6568542,14 13,14 L5,14 C3.34314575,14 2,15.3431458 2,17 L2,19 C2,19.5522847 1.55228475,20 1,20 C0.44771525,20 0,19.5522847 0,19 L0,17 C0,14.2385763 2.23857625,12 5,12 L13,12 C15.7614237,12 18,14.2385763 18,17 L18,19 Z M9,10 C6.23857625,10 4,7.76142375 4,5 C4,2.23857625 6.23857625,0 9,0 C11.7614237,0 14,2.23857625 14,5 C14,7.76142375 11.7614237,10 9,10 Z M9,8 C10.6568542,8 12,6.65685425 12,5 C12,3.34314575 10.6568542,2 9,2 C7.34314575,2 6,3.34314575 6,5 C6,6.65685425 7.34314575,8 9,8 Z" /></svg> </span> <span class="meta-text"> By <a href="https://worldrowing-admin.soticcloud.net/author/jmcconnell/">Jonathan MCconnell</a> </span> </li> <li class="post-date meta-wrapper"> <span class="meta-icon"> <span class="screen-reader-text"> Post date </span> <svg class="svg-icon" aria-hidden="true" role="img" focusable="false" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="18" height="19" viewBox="0 0 18 19"><path fill="" d="M4.60069444,4.09375 L3.25,4.09375 C2.47334957,4.09375 1.84375,4.72334957 1.84375,5.5 L1.84375,7.26736111 L16.15625,7.26736111 L16.15625,5.5 C16.15625,4.72334957 15.5266504,4.09375 14.75,4.09375 L13.3993056,4.09375 L13.3993056,4.55555556 C13.3993056,5.02154581 13.0215458,5.39930556 12.5555556,5.39930556 C12.0895653,5.39930556 11.7118056,5.02154581 11.7118056,4.55555556 L11.7118056,4.09375 L6.28819444,4.09375 L6.28819444,4.55555556 C6.28819444,5.02154581 5.9104347,5.39930556 5.44444444,5.39930556 C4.97845419,5.39930556 4.60069444,5.02154581 4.60069444,4.55555556 L4.60069444,4.09375 Z M6.28819444,2.40625 L11.7118056,2.40625 L11.7118056,1 C11.7118056,0.534009742 12.0895653,0.15625 12.5555556,0.15625 C13.0215458,0.15625 13.3993056,0.534009742 13.3993056,1 L13.3993056,2.40625 L14.75,2.40625 C16.4586309,2.40625 17.84375,3.79136906 17.84375,5.5 L17.84375,15.875 C17.84375,17.5836309 16.4586309,18.96875 14.75,18.96875 L3.25,18.96875 C1.54136906,18.96875 0.15625,17.5836309 0.15625,15.875 L0.15625,5.5 C0.15625,3.79136906 1.54136906,2.40625 3.25,2.40625 L4.60069444,2.40625 L4.60069444,1 C4.60069444,0.534009742 4.97845419,0.15625 5.44444444,0.15625 C5.9104347,0.15625 6.28819444,0.534009742 6.28819444,1 L6.28819444,2.40625 Z M1.84375,8.95486111 L1.84375,15.875 C1.84375,16.6516504 2.47334957,17.28125 3.25,17.28125 L14.75,17.28125 C15.5266504,17.28125 16.15625,16.6516504 16.15625,15.875 L16.15625,8.95486111 L1.84375,8.95486111 Z" /></svg> </span> <span class="meta-text"> <a href="https://worldrowing-admin.soticcloud.net/2013/03/27/firsts-for-korea-in-sydney/">March 27, 2013</a> </span> </li> </ul><!-- .post-meta --> </div><!-- .post-meta-wrapper --> </div><!-- .entry-header-inner --> </header><!-- .entry-header --> <div class="post-inner thin "> <div class="entry-content"> <p> For the first time, a World Rowing Cup regatta is being staged in the Southern Hemisphere in Sydney, Australia. As part of a strategic initiative to expand rowing's global calendar and to take advantage of Australia's pleasant early autumn temperatures, the World Rowing regatta season began two months earlier in 2013 compared to previous years. Preliminary races were held on Friday 22 March and A-finals will be staged in the Olympic boat classes on Sunday 24 March.</p> <p> From 09:35 through to 12:45 local time, the Sunday A-finals will be video streamed live on <a href="http://cl.exct.net/?ju=fe3317767063057e751671&ls=fdca15727464067e7c13767364&m=fefc1573726305&l=fe921570776302787d&s=fe29117677600374771473&jb=ffcf14&t=" title="World Rowing TV">World Rowing TV</a> and for the first time this channel will be opened to US viewers free of charge thanks to a new media rights model launched by World Rowing.</p> <p> <strong>A-finals Preview</strong></p> <p> In the women's pair a handful of Olympic Champions will line up. Helen Glover of Great Britain is the reigning Olympic Champion in this boat class and here in Sydney she and new partner Polly Swann qualified for the A-final with the fastest qualifying time. Meghan Musnicki and Caroline Lind of the USA won Olympic gold at London 2012 in the women's eight and are now forming a competitive combination of their own in the pair.</p> <p> In the men's pair the two standout crews are French. Finishing first and second in their race for lanes on Friday they will be lining up in the centre lanes for the A-final. France's number one crew of Germain Chardin and Dorian Mortelette won Olympic silver in London last summer while their number two crew includes Julien Despres, an Olympic bronze medallist from 2008 in the men's four. Which of these two crews will cross the line first on Sunday?</p> <p> In the women's double sculls, Great Britain will feature two crews in the A-final. The combination of Frances Houghton (a two-time Olympic silver medallist) and Victoria Meyer-Laker had the faster qualifying time of the two boats. Watch out too for New Zealand – they won their heat, thereby qualifying directly for the A-final.</p> <p> In the men's four, the A-final will showcase the Australian Olympic silver medalling boat with just one change to their line-up: Joshua Booth has replaced the now retired and legendary rower Drew Ginn.</p> <p> Winning her heat on Friday, Kim Crow of Australia is all set to be the star of the women's single sculls. Crow was the only athlete to medal in two boat classes at the 2012 Olympic Rowing Regatta – bronze in the women's single sculls and silver in the women's double sculls. Crow's main competition on Sunday will likely come from Eleanor Logan of the USA, who also qualified directly for the A-final from her heat. Logan is a two-time Olympic Champion in the women's eight and here in Sydney is racing in two sculling events – the single and the quad.</p> <p> New faces have emerged at the head of the men's single sculls field and Bulgaria's Georgi Bozhilov is showing promising speed, having qualified with the fastest time for the A-final.</p> <p> Julia Edward of New Zealand impressed the world of rowing by setting a new World Best Time in the lightweight women's double sculls last season in Lucerne, Switzerland. Racing in Sydney with a new partner, Lucy Strack, the crew is racing strong. They qualified for tomorrow's A-final with the fastest time overall in this boat class.</p> <p> China will be a force to reckon with in the lightweight men's double sculls, having qualified two boats, one from each heat, directly for the A-final. Also lining up in the A-final of the lightweight men's double are Great Britain's Richard Chambers, a London Olympic silver medallist in the lightweight men's four who is racing here with Adam Freeman-Pask, and Portugal's top rowers Pedro Fraga and Nuno Mendes.</p> <p> Watch out for Great Britain in the lightweight men's four: two members of the crew, Peter Chambers and Chris Bartley, were part of the Olympic silver medallist boat in London. But New Zealand are not planning to make it easy for them, having beat them to the line in their race for lanes.</p> <p> 2012 Olympic bronze medallists the USA will line up in the women's quadruple sculls, but with only one rower from the London crew remaining, Megan Kalmoe. The other three crew members are from the Olympic Champion women's eight crew: Susan Francia, Esther Lofgren and Eleanor Logan. But Australia did not make the win easy for them in their heat – they chased the USA to the line and finished only one tenths of a second behind.</p> <p> The women's eight is set to be full of surprises, with the Olympic Champion women's eight from the USA having finished second behind Australia in their heat – their first loss since 2006 – and Canada's Olympic silver medal winning crew having lost their heat to Great Britain.</p> <p> In the men's eight, two Australian crews will line up, but the British crew will be the one to beat with a line-up of Olympic medallists, including 2012 Olympic Champions from the men's four Andrew Triggs-Hodge, Pete Reed and Alex Gregory.</p> <p> <strong>Useful Links</strong></p> <p> <a

on another summer-like hot day, Yoo Jin Ji of Korea put herself and her country into the record books by coming second in the lightweight women’s single sculls. Then Ji’s team mate, Hakbeom Lee, followed this success up with a bronze medal in the lightweight men’s single sculls. This bodes well as Korea prepares to welcome the rowing world to Chungju later this year for the World Rowing Championships.</p> <p> <strong>Lightweight Women’s Single Sculls (LW1x) – Final</strong><br /> The first international final for the 2013 season, the lightweight women’s single sculls began with five scullers after Canada’s Lindsay Sferrazza did not make the required weight of 59kg or less. </p> <figure class="archive float-right"><img alt="_Q7T2198" src="/uploads/files/6e08dd1c8cce68496a5a6e2c5bcad715.jpg"><figcaption>Podium of the lightweight women’s single sculls: South Korea’s Jin Yoo Ji (silver), Canada’s Jaclyn Halko (gold) and Sarah Pound of Australia (bronze) celebrate at the 2013 Samsung World Rowing Cup in Penrith near Sydney, Australia.</figcaption></figure> <p> As in yesterday’s heat, Ka Man Lee of Hong Kong China had a flying start. But the flying start took its toll and Lee soon slipped right to the back of the field with Yoo Jin Ji of Korea taking over in the lead. Ji is an Olympian from the Beijing Olympics but did not make the cut for London.</p> <p> Then Jaclyn Halko of Canada made a huge move and got her nose in front. Halko, who became a World Champion last year in the lightweight women’s quadruple sculls for Poland, now had a slight edge and, in her black boat, she started to push away. The real race was now going on between Ji and Sarah Pound of Australia.</p> <p> In the final sprint to the line Ji showed that she had more to give and got the better of Pound, but by the slightest of margins. At the head of the field a new World Cup gold medallist was crowned – Jaclyn Halko.<br /> <span><em>Results: <strong>CAN2, KOR, AUS, </strong>GBR, HKG</em></span></p> <p> <span><strong>Jaclyn Halko (CAN2) – Gold</strong><br /> <em>“I was pretty confident that my training would take me through to the finish. We are just coming out of winter training in Canada so I am slow at the start as we haven’t been doing a lot of water time.”</em></span></p> <p> <span> <strong>Yoo Jin Ji (KOR) – Silver</strong><br /> <em>“The other competitors were very strong and so I went out out strong to keep up with the other competitors. That was probably the best strategy for this race.”</em></p> <p> <strong>Sarah Pound (AUS) – Bronze</strong><br /> <em>“It was my first time ever representing Australia. I just wanted to have good start, sit with the pack and really bring it home in the finish.”</em></span></p> <p> <strong>B-Final</strong><br /> This regatta has attracted a sizeable contingent from Asia and the B-final in the lightweight single saw a race between An Le of Vietnam and Aisyah Saiyidah of Singapore. Le, at her first international regatta finished first.<br /> <span><em>Results: VIE, SIN</em></span></p> <p><figure class="archive float-left"><img alt="_Q7T2212" src="/uploads/files/9828227038420faae74f5f8400c7454c.jpg"><figcaption>Duncan Grant of New Zealand presents his gold medal in the lightweight men’s single sculls at the 2013 Samsung World Rowing Cup in Penrith near Sydney, Australia.</figcaption></figure> <p><strong>Lightweight Men’s Single Sculls (LM1x) – Final</strong><br /> From yesterday’s heats this looked like it would be a race between former World Champion Duncan Grant of New Zealand and Jost Schoemann-Finck of Germany. These two scullers won their respective heats. Last month Grant and Schoemann-Finck raced each other at the New Zealand National Championships. Schoemann-Finck, who has been training in Sydney for the last few months, finished first with Grant taking third.</p> <p> Grant took no chances today and right from the word go Grant stamped his dominance on this final. Schoemann-Finck gave it a good shot to try and match Grant’s pace but was unable to keep up. Grant crossed the line with an open water lead with Schoemann-Finck in second.</p> <p> Behind these two leading scullers three boats were carrying out a very tight battle: Michael Egan of Australia, Great Britain’s Jamie Kirkwood and Hakbeom Lee of Korea. Charging for the line at a 38 stroke rate pace Lee and Egan gave it their all while Kirkwood didn’t quite have the same push. In a photo finish Lee had managed to edge out Egan to take the second medal for Korea of the day. Lee’s bronze medal was Korea’s second ever World Cup medal for Korean men.<br /> <span><em>Results:<strong> NZL, GER, KOR, </strong>AUS, GBR, HKG</em></span></p> <p> <span><strong>Duncan Grant (NZL)</strong><br /> <em>“It was good to be back in the single. I raced against Jost (Schoemann-Finck ) in the NZL nationals and he won there but he has been racing in the heavyweight single this week also, so I thought if I could control the race I’d be in with a chance.</em></p> <p> <strong>Jost Schoemann-Finck (GER)</strong><br /> <em>"I am very happy. It is my second medal (also medalled at the Australian Championships) this week and my seventh race this week. I hadn't got so much power but hopefully I can do it again tomorrow.”</em></p> <p> <strong>Hakbeom Lee (KOR)</strong><br /> <em>"I have been racing for five days in the Australian National Championships and it has been challenging but today this was my best result and my best physical condition.”</em></span></p> <p> <strong>B-Final</strong><br /> Adam Kapa of the Czech Republic completely dominated Nadzrie Hamzah of Singapore to finish seventh overall at this regatta. In increasing tail wind conditions, Kapa rowed a very consistent race to start off his 2013 season.<br /> <span><em>Results: CZE, SIN</em></span></p> <p> <strong>Women’s Pair (W2-) – B-final</strong><br /> Finishing first in this race was Xiaoqin Wang and Yuanyuan Gu of China.

China’s starting pace could not be maintained and soon the United States moved into the lead following a big push before the 1000m mark. Canada then picked up the pace and drove their boat into second. This order remained the same at the line.

This is how <strong>Heat One</strong> began with the crews aiming to be in the first position for a direct path to the final. The United States had the best pedigree of this heat with the crew chock full of Olympic medallists.

But it was Australia that held an ever so tiny leading margin over the United States. As the Sydney Olympic regatta course finish line came into view the United States pushed their stroke rate to 35 strokes per minute, with Australia reacting by going to 40. The United States had the better power and crossed the line in first.</p> <figure class="archive float-left"><img alt="DSC_4955" src="/uploads/files/e83d6f02740e6c3431223e2ac4255150.jpg"><figcaption>Sarah Gray (b), Georgia Perry, Genevieve Armstrong and Erin-Monique Shelton (s) of New Zealand race in the women’s quadruple sculls heat at the 2013 Samsung World Rowing Cup in Penrith near Sydney, Australia.</figcaption></figure> <p>Often during the first big race of the season stroke rates can be a bit sluggish, this was not the case in <strong>Heat </strong><strong>Two</strong>. All boats got off the starting line at around 46 strokes per minute. New Zealand had the best start getting a very handy lead over Great Britain in second. By the middle of the race the New Zealanders looked like they had the event sewn up. Coming into the final sprint Great Britain fought back and began to close on the Kiwi advantage. The New Zealand crew of Gray, Perry, Armstrong and Shelton had a big enough edge that they were able to hold off the late British charge. Both crews looked liked they’d given it their all at the end.<br /> <em><strong>Qualifiers: USA, NZL</strong></em></p> <p> <strong>Women’s Pair (W2-) – Heats</strong><br /> The United States use the pair extensively in training to make their Olympic Champion eight go faster, so when there’s a US boat in a pairs race you know that they’re going to be quick. Meghan Musnicki and Caroline Lind of USA2 lined up in the first of two heats. The goal here was to finish first to get a direct path to Sunday’s final. Musnicki and Lind come from the London Olympic Champion eight and they made easy work of their heat by leading from start to finish. This left Great Britain and Australia to hold a bit of a tussle for second. The race, however, was well wrapped up by Musnicki and Lind who performed a relative cruise home at a 33 stroke rate to qualify directly for the final. </p> <figure class="archive float-right"><img alt="DSC_5019" src="/uploads/files/0d2f74ddb645cd4f1ebecbca395fd596.jpg"><figcaption>Meghan Musnicki (b) and Caroline Lind (s) of the United States of America wait for the start of the women’s pair heat at the 2013 Samsung World Rowing Cup in Penrith near Sydney, Australia.</figcaption></figure> <p> <strong>Heat Two</strong> saw the Olympic Champion in the pair, Helen Glover of Great Britain paired up with relative newcomer to the national team. Polly Swann. Glover’s Olympic partner is taking extended leave, giving Swann a chance to step in. Together they covered the course in 7:22 giving them the fastest qualifying time of the two heats. After racing the first 500m, the rest of the field put up absolutely no challenge to the British. Glover and Swann recorded an open water win.<br /> <em><strong>Qualifiers: USA2, GBR1</strong></em></p> <p> <strong>Men’s Four (M4-) – Preliminary race</strong><br /> Four boats had entered this event so heats were not required. This meant today’s race was all about racing for lanes in the final. The two Australian boats, who are also competing in the Australian Open Rowing Championships going on simultaneously as part of the Sydney International Rowing Regatta, chose not to race in this preliminary race. </p> <figure class="archive float-left"><img alt="_Q7T0952" src="/uploads/files/cf2f79bb674e15be9eba22a0f37aad90.jpg"><figcaption>Jade Uru (b), Tobias Wehr-Candler, Adam Tripp and Robert Kells (s) of New Zealand race in the men’s four race for lanes at the 2013 Samsung World Rowing Cup in Penrith near Sydney, Australia.</figcaption></figure> <p> This left New Zealand and Great Britain to perform a two boat head-to-head race. Both boats gave it their best remaining in overlapping closeness for the entire race. New Zealand, built around Olympic fours rower Jade Uru, held a slight advantage for the full 2000m. Coming into the line New Zealand was on 37 while Great Britain had 39 strokes per minute.<br /> <em><strong>Results: NZL, GBR</strong></em></p> <p> <strong>Men’s Quadruple Sculls (M4x) – Preliminary race</strong><br /> As in the previous event, the men’s quad had less than six boats entered so needed no heats. Today the three boats entered raced for lanes in Sunday’s finals. All three crews got off the line together with Great Britain just a tad in front. The British crew of Lucas, Thomas, Cousins and Townsend were all on the British national team in 2012 with Cousins, Lucas and Townsend competing at the London 2012 Olympic Games. </p> <figure class="archive float-right"><img alt="DSC_5202" src="/uploads/files/ad0bc59d0975e8d180b2d469f7c94404.jpg"><figcaption>Bill Lucas (b), Graeme Thomas, Charles Cousins and Sam Townsend (s) of Great Britain race in the men’s quadruple sculls race for lanes at the 2013 Samsung World Rowing Cup in Penrith near Sydney, Australia.</figcaption></figure> <p> Coming through the second 500m New Zealand’s new quad line up, which included Olympic Champion from the men’s double sculls, Nathan Cohen, got their nose in front of the British and began to inch away. But the British fought back. In the final 500m Great Britain had a lot more in the tank than New Zealand with the New Zealanders being gobbled up to finish second. Meanwhile Australia, who are likely to be also racing in the Australian Championships later today, just raced to the 1000m mark and then took the pressure off to cruise home.<br /> <em><strong>Results: GBR, NZL, AUS</strong></em></p> <p> <strong>Men’s Single Sculls (M1x) – Heats</strong><br /> The London Olympic ‘big guns’ are predominantly on extended leave from international racing leaving this field open for a chance for some new talent to shine. In <strong>Heat One</strong> it was Georgi Bozhilov of Bulgaria that truly shined. With the first boat only qualifying directly for the final, Bozhilov overtook a fast-starting Kieran Kobelke of Australia to take the lead. Bozhilov was third in last year’s European Championships and he is definitely a sculler on the move. Dongyong Kim of Korea gave it his best to challenge Bozhilov. Bozhilov, however, remained firmly in control and qualified for the final with the fastest qualifying time. </p> <figure class="archive float-left"><img alt="DSC_5307" src="/uploads/files/cb25444339203b9b46252932ef183805.jpg"><figcaption>Georgi Bozhilov of Bulgaria races in the men’s single sculls heat at the 2013 Samsung World Rowing Cup in Penrith near Sydney, Australia.</figcaption></figure> <p> There was absolutely no pressure on Great Britain’s Jonathan Walton in <strong>Heat Two</strong>. Walton got the better of the very competent lightweight, Jost Schoemann-Finck of Germany at the start and then proceeded to annihilate the field. By the last 500m Walton, who raced on the under-23 team in 2012, was able to take the pressure off and cruise home at a 23 stroke rate.<br /> <em><strong>Qualifiers: BUL, GBR</strong></em></p> <p> <strong>Lightweight Women’s Double Sculls (LW2x) – Heats</strong><br /> The two heats in this event required crews to finish first if they wanted a direct path to the finals on Sunday. In <strong>Heat One</strong> Julia Edward and Lucy Strack of New Zealand controlled the race. Edward was part of the 2012 Olympic lightweight double while Strack was part of the crew that qualified the lightweight double for the Olympics in 2011.</p> <p> Following Edward and Strack was the very competent British crew of Kathryn Twyman and Imogen Walsh. Both are regulars on the British national team with Twyman racing in the lightweight single last year and Walsh in the lightweight double at the European Championships. At the line Edward and Strack had held onto the lead to qualify directly for the final on Sunday. </p> <figure class="archive float-right"><img alt="_Q7T1056" src="/uploads/files/740a368b6773fb4659ea092e41d77ce5.jpg"><figcaption>Julia Edward (b) and Lucy Strack (s) of New Zealand race in the lightweight women’s double sculls heat at the 2013 Samsung World Rowing Cup in Penrith near Sydney, Australia.</figcaption></figure> <p> The second heat was slower than heat one despite a very tight tussle going on at the head of the field. Xiujuan Song and Miao Wang of China were battling it out with Australia2 of Alice McNamara and Maia Simmonds with Australia1 also on the pace. McNamara is the best known name here as a regular on the Australian team including racing the lightweight single at last year’s World Rowing Championships. McNamara also competes in stair running and has recently won the Empire State Building stair running competition.</p> <p> Through heat two Song and Wang held a slight edge but had to work hard right through to the line to hold off McNamara and Simmonds. Despite the Chinese looking as though they had run out of steam, Song and Wang managed to remain in first to qualify directly for the final.<br /> <em><strong>Qualifiers: NZL, CHN</strong></em></p> <p> <strong>Lightweight Men’s Double Sculls (LM2x) – Heats</strong><br /> You never know who is going to pop up in a post-Olympic year. Popping up here in Sydney in <strong>Heat One </strong>were Hui Li and Tianfeng Dong of China. The last time Li and Dong were spotting racing internationally was in 2009. But they must have been working away in China as they took on Olympic fifth-place finishers, Pedro Fraga and Nuno Mendes of Portugal. With two boats qualifying for the final China and Portugal were in the right positions. Still they both raced hard with Fraga and Mendes taking the lead through the middle of the race. Usually it is Fraga and Mendes that have the best sprint, but today they chose not to and Li and Dong crossed the line in first. </p> <figure class="archive float-left"><img alt="_Q7T1130" src="/uploads/files/ea62dbd16c3d6dacf5c99a50c79124f6.jpg"><figcaption>Hui Li (b) and Tianfeng Dong (s) of China during the start of the lightweight men’s double sculls heat at the 2013 Samsung World Rowing Cup in Penrith near Sydney, Australia.</figcaption></figure> <p> <strong>Heat Two</strong> ended up being slower than heat one with less of a tussle going on at the head of the field. There was denying the pedigree of Great Britain’s Adam Freeman-Pask and Richard Chambers. Chambers is a London Olympic silver medallist while Freeman-Pask finished second at the European Championships last year in the lightweight men’s four.</p> <p> After an initial lead of Jun Wan and Deming Kong of China1, Freeman-Pask and Chambers took the lead and never looked back. Both of these crews qualified for the final on Sunday.<br /> <em><strong>Qualifiers: CHN2, POR, GBR, CHN1</strong></em></p> <p> <strong>Women’s Single Sculls (W1x) – Heats</strong><br /> <strong>Heat One</strong> had the crowd sit up and take interest. On the water was Australia’s Olympic rowing hero, Kim Crow. Crow was the only Olympic rower in London to compete in two events and she medalled in both of them. Many of the Australian women rowers racing at the Australian Open Rowing Championships in conjunction with the Samsung World Rowing Cup, wear a ribbon in their hair in the style of Crow. </p> <figure class="archive float-right"><img alt="DSC_5863" src="/uploads/files/7ed6f818c272a6296bf731142551f367.jpg"><figcaption>Australia’s Kim Crow races in the women’s single sculls heat at the 2013 Samsung World Rowing Cup in Penrith near Sydney, Australia.</figcaption></figure> <p> Today, coming back from illness, Crow led her heat from start to finish. This event needed crews to finish in a top two position if they wanted to directly progress to Sunday’s final. After overtaking the United States and Zimbabwe, Kaisa Pajusalu of Estonia slipped into second and tried to move on Crow. Pajusalu raced last year at the European Championships in the single and finished third.</p> <p> A big cheer greeted Crow as she rowed through to the finish line in the lead. Crow and Pajusalu had qualified for the final.</p> <p> United States’ Eleanor Logan featured in <strong>Heat Two</strong>. Better known for rowing on the Olympic Champion women’s eight, Logan showed that she is also handy with two oars by leading her heat from start to finish. This left Canada and China One (Bin Tang) to battle it out for the remaining qualifying spot. By the second half of the race, Tang had the edge with Canada’s Carling Zeeman having no reply. Logan and Tang qualified for the final.<br /> <em><strong>Qualifiers: AUS, EST, USA1, CHN1</strong></em></p> <p> <strong>Women’s Double Sculls (W2x) – Heats</strong><br /> This event has seen a bunch of new combinations with <strong>Heat One</strong> of two heats featuring New Zealand’s recently selected line up of Fiona Bourke and Zoe Stevenson. As the first placed crew only would advance directly to the final, Bourke and Stevenson made sure that they would be it. Bourke comes to the double from racing in the quad at the London Olympics while Stevenson was successful in the under-23 women’s eight in 2011. </p> <figure class="archive float-left"><img alt="_Q7T1227" src="/uploads/files/7766d4942acd4f303eb24372f482e570.jpg"><figcaption>Victoria Thornley (b) and Beth Rodford (s) of Great Britain race in the women’s double sculls heat at the 2013 Samsung World Rowing Cup in Penrith near Sydney, Australia.</figcaption></figure> <p> By the middle of the race Bourke and Stevenson had an open water lead over Great Britain in second. Bourke and Stevenson remained unchallenged through to the line looking tidy and in beautiful synchronicity as they rowed past the finish line grandstand.</p> <p> <strong>Heat Two</strong> turned out to be slightly faster than heat one with Frances Houghton and Victoria Meyer-Laker of Great Britain Two fighting it out with Fei Wang and Xiuyun Zhang of China. Wang and Zhang held the lead for the majority of the race but didn’t seem to have a sprint in them. This allowed Houghton and Meyer-Laker to push past and win the race. Houghton and Meyer-Laker crossed the line in first to advance directly to the final.<br /> <em><strong>Qualifiers: NZL, GBR2</strong></em></p> <p> <strong>Men’s Eight (M8+) – Preliminary Race</strong><br /> Despite this being a preliminary race for lanes, the men’s eight proved to be one of the closer races of the day with all boats remaining in striking distance to each other for the entire race. </p> <figure class="archive float-right"><img alt="_Q7T1263start" src="/uploads/files/9d61c88b7155fa28072080c5bc3a862d.jpg"><figcaption>The crews of Great Britain, Australia, the United States of America and New Zealand during the start of the men’s eight race for lanes at the 2013 Samsung World Rowing Cup in Penrith near Sydney, Australia.</figcaption></figure> <p> Out in front at the start was the United States. The US finished fourth at the London Olympic Games and remaining in the boat from this crew was Grant James, David Banks and Stephen Kasprzyk. Great Britain chased hard and managed to get their nose in front by the third 500. The British boat is chock full of talent. Three of the Olympic Champion four make up the stern of the boat with three members of the bronze medal eight, including coxswain Phelan Hill are also in the boat. As the last 300m came into view it was a beautiful sight of four eights fighting for the line. The 39 stroke rate by the British crew gave them the edge and enabled them to cross the line in first.</p> <p> These crews will race each other again in Sunday’s final.</p> <p> <strong>Lightweight Men’s Single Sculls (LM1x) – Heats</strong><br /> The goal in this event was to finish in a top two spot for a direct path to Saturday evening’s final. <strong>Heat One</strong> of two heats featured former World Champion Duncan Grant of New Zealand. Grant spent last season trying to qualify for the London Olympics in the lightweight four and this season is back in the single. Grant took an early lead over Michael Egan of Australia and managed to inch away as the race progressed. With these two boats in the qualifying spots, no other boat seemed able to challenge and Grant and Egan became the qualifying boats. </p> <figure class="archive float-left"><img alt="_Q7T1029" src="/uploads/files/eb86d0b5426b3a59459c8edf78d4e19e.jpg"><figcaption>Germany’s Jost Schoemann-Finck races in the men’s single sculls heat at the 2013 Samsung World Rowing Cup in Penrith near Sydney, Australia.</figcaption></figure> <p> At the back of the field John Boafo Nana Kwaku of Ghana received a big cheer as he raced to the finish line in his first international race. This is the first time that Ghana has sent a team to the World Rowing Cup.</p> <p> <strong>Heat Two </strong>was led by Germany’s sole representative in Sydney, Jost Schoemann-Finck. This is the second time that Schoemann-Finck has raced this morning as he also raced about one hour ago in the open men’s single sculls. But the lightweight single is Schoemann-Finck’s priority event and he stamped his authority by taking the lead and finishing with an open water margin. Behind Schoemann-Finck, Jamie Kirkwood of Great Britain managed to shake off Korea to finish second. Schoemann-Finck and Kirkwood became to two qualifying boats.<br /> <em><strong>Qualifiers: NZL, AUS, GER, GBR</strong></em></p> <p> <strong>Lightweight Women’s Single Sculls (LW1x) – Heats</strong><br /> The two heats in this event required scullers to finish in the top spot if they wanted a direct path to Saturday afternoon’s final. In <strong>Heat One</strong> Ka Man Lee of Hong Kong China jumped off the line in first but then appeared to drop off the pace as Ruth Walczak of Great Britain took the lead. Walczak raced last year in the lightweight women’s double at the European Championships where she finished third. Coming to the line in a time of 8:02, Walczak had not only qualified directly for Saturday’s final but she had also recorded the fastest qualifying time. This regatta could see the rise of Walczak on the international stage.</p> <p> A topsy-turvy <strong>Heat Two</strong> opened with Sarah Pound of Australia in the lead. Pound’s blistering start gave her an open water lead by the first 500m mark and she continued to increase that lead so that by the 1000m mark Pound had a full eight seconds over Jaclyn Halko of Canada Two in second. Then everything changed. Halko, who rowed for Poland to a World Champion title last year, is now back in Canada and Halko suddenly appeared to come alive. A blistering third 500 gave Halko the lead and although she couldn’t maintain it Halko had enough steam to hold the lead to the end.<br /> <em><strong>Qualifiers: GBR, CAN2</strong></em><br /> </p> <p> Racing continued in the early evening with the water conditions changing to a gusty cross – head wind. This caused an alteration in the lanes used on the Sydney International Regatta Course.</p> <p> <strong>Men’s Pair (M2-) – Preliminary Race</strong><br /> The last time there was an international men’s pair race on this regatta course it was the final of the 2000 Sydney Olympic men’s pair when Jean-Chrisophe Rolland and Michel Andrieux of France started their finishing sprint right back at the 1000m mark for one of the most talked about races at the Sydney Olympics . Rolland and </p> <figure class="archive float-right"><img alt="_Q7T1443" src="/uploads/files/4c45990ca3ef9af23dcc5ed88ab54368.jpg"><figcaption>Julien Despres (b) and Benjamin Lang (s) of France race in the men’s pair race for lanes at the 2013 Samsung World Rowing Cup in Penrith near Sydney, Australia.</figcaption></figure> <p>Andrieux won gold for France and today two French crews lined up including the London Olympic silver medal pair of Germain Chardin and Dorian Mortelette. Chardin and Mortelette took off in the lead of this preliminary race for lanes for Sunday’s finals. But Australia pushed hard and got into the lead. Chardin and Mortelette reacted back with France’s number two crew of Benjamin Lang and Julien Despres now moving up through the field.</p> <p> In the final sprint, Lang and Despres moved their stroke rate up to 37 and challenged Chardin and Mortelette who then decided to take the pressure off. Land and Despres go to the final having earned the best lane.</p> <p><figure class="archive float-left"><img alt="_Q7T1499" src="/uploads/files/9c6077cdd95f95df293d016a8253a93e.jpg"><figcaption>Michael Arms (b) and Robert Manson (s) of New Zealand race in the men’s double sculls race for lanes at the 2013 Samsung World Rowing Cup in Penrith near Sydney, Australia.</figcaption></figure> <p><strong>Men’s Double Sculls (M2x) – Preliminary Race</strong><br /> Michael Arms and Robert Manson of New Zealand were selected for this boat over from the Olympic Champion double of Nathan Cohen and Joseph Sullivan and they made the best of it in their first international race as a double. Arms and Manson come from the Olympic men’s quadruple sculls.</p> <p> Today they raced in the preliminary race for lanes in Sunday’s final by leading from start to finish. Early in the race Estonia challenged, but Arms and Manson appeared stronger and more race ready. Coming into the final sprint Great Britain managed to get ahead of Estonia but did not have enough water left to catch up to Arms and Manson. Arms and Manson go to the final with the psychological advantage of a warm-up race win.</p> <p> <strong>Lightweight Men’s Four (LM4-) – Preliminary Race</strong></p> <figure class="archive float-right"><img alt="_Q7T1535" src="/uploads/files/6c3d656cf0d7d5dd2ee3912cc88eb741.jpg"><figcaption>James Lassche (b), James Hunter, Peter Taylor and Curtis Rapley (s) of New Zealand race in the lightweight men’s four race for lanes at the 2013 Samsung World Rowing Cup in Penrith near Sydney, Australia.</figcaption></figure> <p> This was definitely an upset. Great Britain had two Olympic silver medallists sitting in the boat and looked to be a shoe-in to win. But the New Zealand crew had other ideas. New Zealand tried to qualify this boat for the London Olympics but just missed out. At the New Zealand team trials earlier this month the competition to get into this boat was strong. Today the new Kiwi crew showed their worth by not only beating the British, but beating them soundly. Watch out for James Lassche, James Hunter, Peter Taylor and Curtis Rapley through the 2013 season.</p> <p> Great Britain came in second with China in third. The Australian crews chose not to race as they are also competing in the Australian Open National Championships that is running at the same time.</p> <p> <strong>Women’s Eight (W8+) – Heats</strong><br /> Two heats lined up for the final event of the day with the goal in each heat to finish first. A first place would secure a direct path to the final. What was to follow turned out to be two of the biggest upsets of the day. In Heat One Canada got off to a great start in first followed closely by Great Britain. This Canadian crew has four of the crew that took silver at the London Olympics including coxswain Lesley Thompson-Willie.</p> <p> But going through the middle of the race Great Britain had pushed into the lead. Great Britain were fifth at the Olympics and they have retained three rowers from that eight. They also have women’s pair Olympic Champion, Helen Glover sitting in the boat. With Great Britain now in the lead Canada appeared to have no comeback. Great Britain move directly to Sunday’s final.</p> <p><figure class="archive float-left"><img alt="DSC_6779" src="/uploads/files/fb2f2fa50526231e79f5bd7269433e01.jpg"><figcaption>Great Britain’s Katie Greves (b), Jessica Eddie, Beth Rodford, Victoria Meyer-Laker, Frances Houghton, Victoria Thornley, Helen Glover, Polly Swann (s) and cox Zoe De Toledo of Great Britain race in the women’s eight heat at the 2013 Samsung World Rowing Cup in Penrith near Sydney, Australia.</figcaption></figure> <p>It took until the final race of the day for the biggest upset perhaps of the season. The United States women’s eight has not lost a race since 2006 despite who was in the boat line up. Today, on the waters of Sydney’s Olympic regatta course the United States found themselves trailing Australia for the entire race. The Americans tried to sprint it out at the end and managed to close slightly on the Australians, but the Australians held it together and will make up a middle lane in the final. For the first time in a long, long time the United States will race in a repechage.<br /> <em><strong>Qualifiers: GBR, AUS</strong></em></p> </div><!-- .entry-content --> </div><!-- .post-inner --> <div class="section-inner"> </div><!-- .section-inner --> </article><!-- .post --> <hr class="post-separator styled-separator is-style-wide section-inner" aria-hidden="true" /> <article class="post-11793 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-elite category-world-rowing-cup" id="post-11793"> <header class="entry-header has-text-align-center"> <div class="entry-header-inner section-inner medium"> <div class="entry-categories"> <span class="screen-reader-text"> Categories </span> <div class="entry-categories-inner"> <a href="https://worldrowing-admin.soticcloud.net/category/elite/" rel="category tag">Elite</a> <a href="https://worldrowing-admin.soticcloud.net/category/world-rowing-cup/" rel="category tag">World Rowing Cup</a> </div><!-- .entry-categories-inner --> </div><!-- .entry-categories --> <h2 class="entry-title heading-size-1"><a href="https://worldrowing-admin.soticcloud.net/2013/03/27/australia-leads-sydney-medals-table/">Australia leads Sydney medals table</a></h2> <div class="post-meta-wrapper post-meta-single post-meta-single-top"> <ul class="post-meta"> <li class="post-author meta-wrapper"> <span class="meta-icon"> <span class="screen-reader-text"> Post author </span> <svg class="svg-icon" aria-hidden="true" role="img" focusable="false" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="18" height="20" viewBox="0 0 18 20"><path fill="" d="M18,19 C18,19.5522847 17.5522847,20 17,20 C16.4477153,20 16,19.5522847 16,19 L16,17 C16,15.3431458 14.6568542,14 13,14 L5,14 C3.34314575,14 2,15.3431458 2,17 L2,19 C2,19.5522847 1.55228475,20 1,20 C0.44771525,20 0,19.5522847 0,19 L0,17 C0,14.2385763 2.23857625,12 5,12 L13,12 C15.7614237,12 18,14.2385763 18,17 L18,19 Z M9,10 C6.23857625,10 4,7.76142375 4,5 C4,2.23857625 6.23857625,0 9,0 C11.7614237,0 14,2.23857625 14,5 C14,7.76142375 11.7614237,10 9,10 Z M9,8 C10.6568542,8 12,6.65685425 12,5 C12,3.34314575 10.6568542,2 9,2 C7.34314575,2 6,3.34314575 6,5 C6,6.65685425 7.34314575,8 9,8 Z" /></svg> </span> <span class="meta-text"> By <a href="https://worldrowing-admin.soticcloud.net/author/jmcconnell/">Jonathan MCconnell</a> </span> </li> <li class="post-date meta-wrapper"> <span class="meta-icon"> <span class="screen-reader-text"> Post date </span> <svg class="svg-icon" aria-hidden="true" role="img" focusable="false" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="18" height="19" viewBox="0 0 18 19"><path fill="" d="M4.60069444,4.09375 L3.25,4.09375 C2.47334957,4.09375 1.84375,4.72334957 1.84375,5.5 L1.84375,7.26736111 L16.15625,7.26736111 L16.15625,5.5 C16.15625,4.72334957 15.5266504,4.09375 14.75,4.09375 L13.3993056,4.09375 L13.3993056,4.55555556 C13.3993056,5.02154581 13.0215458,5.39930556 12.5555556,5.39930556 C12.0895653,5.39930556 11.7118056,5.02154581 11.7118056,4.55555556 L11.7118056,4.09375 L6.28819444,4.09375 L6.28819444,4.55555556 C6.28819444,5.02154581 5.9104347,5.39930556 5.44444444,5.39930556 C4.97845419,5.39930556 4.60069444,5.02154581 4.60069444,4.55555556 L4.60069444,4.09375 Z M6.28819444,2.40625 L11.7118056,2.40625 L11.7118056,1 C11.7118056,0.534009742 12.0895653,0.15625 12.5555556,0.15625 C13.0215458,0.15625 13.3993056,0.534009742 13.3993056,1 L13.3993056,2.40625 L14.75,2.40625 C16.4586309,2.40625 17.84375,3.79136906 17.84375,5.5 L17.84375,15.875 C17.84375,17.5836309 16.4586309,18.96875 14.75,18.96875 L3.25,18.96875 C1.54136906,18.96875 0.15625,17.5836309 0.15625,15.875 L0.15625,5.5 C0.15625,3.79136906 1.54136906,2.40625 3.25,2.40625 L4.60069444,2.40625 L4.60069444,1 C4.60069444,0.534009742 4.97845419,0.15625 5.44444444,0.15625 C5.9104347,0.15625 6.28819444,0.534009742 6.28819444,1 L6.28819444,2.40625 Z M1.84375,8.95486111 L1.84375,15.875 C1.84375,16.6516504 2.47334957,17.28125 3.25,17.28125 L14.75,17.28125 C15.5266504,17.28125 16.15625,16.6516504 16.15625,15.875 L16.15625,8.95486111 L1.84375,8.95486111 Z" /></svg> </span> <span class="meta-text"> <a href="https://worldrowing-admin.soticcloud.net/2013/03/27/australia-leads-sydney-medals-table/">March 27, 2013</a> </span> </li> </ul><!-- .post-meta --> </div><!-- .post-meta-wrapper --> </div><!-- .entry-header-inner --> </header><!-- .entry-header --> <div class="post-inner thin "> <div class="entry-content"> <p><figure class="archive float-right"><img alt="DSC_8444" src="http://www.worldrowing.com/uploads/files/aca79e3255e27281e4c3c209a61a537a.jpg"><figcaption>Bin Tang of China (silver), Kim Crow of Australia (gold) and Eleanor Logan of the United States (bronze) after the medal ceremony of the women’s single sculls at the 2013 Samsung World Rowing Cup in Penrith near Sydney, Australia.</figcaption></figure> <p>This medal haul earned Australia 81 points overall and established them as the World Rowing Cup points leaders after the first leg of a three-leg World Rowing Cup series. Great Britain finished second overall with 68 points and New Zealand finished third with 55 points.<br /> Australia, Great Britain and New Zealand scored four gold medals each with the remaining two golds going to France for the men’s pair (Germain Chardin and Dorian Mortelette) and to Bulgaria for the men’s single sculls (Georgi Bozhilov).</p> <p> Australia’s medals included golds in the men’s four, women’s single sculls, women’s quadruple sculls and women’s eight. The win in the eight was exceptional in that it ended a six-year unbeaten run by the United States that included back to back Olympic golds. In addition to the women’s eight the most popular race for the predominantly Australian crowd was Kim Crow’s win in the women’s single. Crow, the darling of Australian rowing after her two-medal London Olympic success, easily won the single over China’s two-time Olympian Bin Tang and Eleanor Logan of the United States.</p> <p> In the men’s four A-final two Australian boats led the way with the crew that included three of the 2012 Olympic silver medal boat finishing first. New Zealand came in third.</p> <p><figure class="archive float-left"><img alt="DSC_6201" src="http://www.worldrowing.com/uploads/files/b6dacdbf9a8d230e2f85c9281fb53334.jpg"><figcaption>Daniel Ritchie (b), Tom Ransley, Lance Tredell, Mattew Gotrel, Mohamed Sbihi, Alex Gregory, Pete Reed, Andrew Triggs Hodge (s) and cox Phelan Hill of Great Britain race in the men’s eight heat at the 2013 Samsung World Rowing Cup in Penrith near Sydney, Australia.</figcaption></figure> <p>Gold medals for Great Britain were earned in the women’s pair, lightweight men’s double sculls, men’s quadruple sculls and the men’s eight. The men’s eight was perhaps the most anticipated medal with three of the 2012 Olympic Champion men’s four sitting in the boat – Andrew Triggs Hodge, Pete Reed and Alex Gregory. The boat also contained two of the athletes that won the Olympic bronze medal in the men’s eight. The United States gave Great Britain a good run for their money, pushing this race to the fastest of the day in relation to the World Best Time. Australia finished third.</p> <p> The British women’s pair saw the return to the boat of Olympic Champion Helen Glover. In the absence of her London Olympic partner, Glover teamed up with relative newcomer to international rowing Polly Swann to overwhelm the rest of the field. Glover and Swann finished more than four seconds ahead of the United States in second.</p> <p><figure class="archive float-right"><img alt="_Q7T2681" src="http://www.worldrowing.com/uploads/files/e2b8c0f4e3394d8582d2e9f768934614.jpg"><figcaption>New Zealand’s Julia Edward (b) and Lucy Strack (s) celebrate after winning the lightweight women’s double sculls A-final at the 2013 Samsung World Rowing Cup in Penrith near Sydney, Australia.</figcaption></figure> <p>New Zealand boated new combinations compared to their 2012 line ups and earned gold medals in the women’s double sculls, lightweight women’s double sculls, lightweight men’s four and men’s double sculls. These crews were selected through trials two weeks ago and the men’s double of Robert Manson and Michael Arms especially impressed with their win against Estonia’s Allar Raja and Kasper Taimsoo.</p> <p> For comprehensive results, please consult our results database <a href="http://88.85.4.10/results_472.html">here</a>.</p> <p> To view photos of the regatta, we invite you to browse our online <a>photo gallery</a>. </p> <p> Detailed <a>race reports</a> have also been published in the news section of the World Rowing website.</p> <p> The second Samsung World Rowing Cup will take place from <a>21 to 23 June 2013 at Eton, Dorney, Great Britain</a>.

.featured-media-inner --> </figure><!-- .featured-media --> <div class="post-inner thin "> <div class="entry-content"> <p>World Rowing caught up with Ghana’s international lightweight single sculler, Jon Boafo to talk about him and his nation’s future in rowing.</p> <p>Born the son of a diplomat, Boafo spent his formative years living in France which is where he had his first experience of rowing. “One of my friends takes credit for getting me into rowing,” he laughs. “I didn’t do any sports and on Wednesdays in France you don’t have school classes in the afternoon so he told me to come along rowing with him. I started and have continued ever since! Then I went to the US and rowed there at the University of Georgia.” During his time as part of the US university rowing system Boafo raced in 30 different states and believes that learning the art of rowing in different countries has made a positive impact on his development in the sport.</p> <p>Rowing in Ghana is one of the focus countries for FISA’s development programme. As part of this programme, Ghana was given a fleet of boats to help develop rowing in the nation but they have not yet made it on to the water as they have been held at the border by customs. Boafo is acutely aware of the impact that these boats could have on rowing in his homeland and is anxious that the issues holding the boats be resolved quickly. “We are trying to go on TV and do some more interviews in the hope that it will put some pressure on them,” he says.</p> <p>Ghanaians participating in rowing events is a new phenomenon and so Boafo’s participation in the World Cup in Sydney has gone under the radar in Ghana . “It’s one of those things that you really have to push and put pressure (on the media) to make them realise that it’s an Olympic sport and an important sport. There’s great potential in Ghana with all of our lakes and even coastal rowing, that we could grow.”</p> <p>Boafo may not be featuring on the podium in Sydney this weekend but he is determined to progress his rowing skills at a steady pace. “I want to be ready for the African Championships and do well there,” he explains. “This is my first race in a couple of years so I want to test myself. When I was in the US I mostly sweep rowed and so when I went back to sculling it was tough, but a local Sydney-based coach, Ciaran Glynn, has been helping me out so I’m getting better!”</p> </div><!-- .entry-content --> </div><!-- .post-inner --> <div class="section-inner"> </div><!-- .section-inner --> </article><!-- .post --> <hr class="post-separator styled-separator is-style-wide section-inner" aria-hidden="true" /> <article class="post-11795 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-elite category-world-rowing-cup" id="post-11795"> <header class="entry-header has-text-align-center"> <div class="entry-header-inner section-inner medium"> <div class="entry-categories"> <span class="screen-reader-text"> Categories </span> <div class="entry-categories-inner"> <a href="https://worldrowing-admin.soticcloud.net/category/elite/" rel="category tag">Elite</a> <a href="https://worldrowing-admin.soticcloud.net/category/world-rowing-cup/" rel="category tag">World Rowing Cup</a> </div><!-- .entry-categories-inner --> </div><!-- .entry-categories --> <h2 class="entry-title heading-size-1"><a href="https://worldrowing-admin.soticcloud.net/2013/03/23/world-cup-feature-coaches-have-their-say/">World Cup Feature: Coaches have their say</a></h2> <div class="post-meta-wrapper post-meta-single post-meta-single-top"> <ul class="post-meta"> <li class="post-author meta-wrapper"> <span class="meta-icon"> <span class="screen-reader-text"> Post author </span> <svg class="svg-icon" aria-hidden="true" role="img" focusable="false" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="18" height="20" viewBox="0 0 18 20"><path fill="" d="M18,19 C18,19.5522847 17.5522847,20 17,20 C16.4477153,20 16,19.5522847 16,19 L16,17 C16,15.3431458 14.6568542,14 13,14 L5,14 C3.34314575,14 2,15.3431458 2,17 L2,19 C2,19.5522847 1.55228475,20 1,20 C0.44771525,20 0,19.5522847 0,19 L0,17 C0,14.2385763 2.23857625,12 5,12 L13,12 C15.7614237,12 18,14.2385763 18,17 L18,19 Z M9,10 C6.23857625,10 4,7.76142375 4,5 C4,2.23857625 6.23857625,0 9,0 C11.7614237,0 14,2.23857625 14,5 C14,7.76142375 11.7614237,10 9,10 Z M9,8 C10.6568542,8 12,6.65685425 12,5 C12,3.34314575 10.6568542,2 9,2 C7.34314575,2 6,3.34314575 6,5 C6,6.65685425 7.34314575,8 9,8 Z" /></svg> </span> <span class="meta-text"> By <a href="https://worldrowing-admin.soticcloud.net/author/jmcconnell/">Jonathan MCconnell</a> </span> </li> <li class="post-date meta-wrapper"> <span class="meta-icon"> <span class="screen-reader-text"> Post date </span> <svg class="svg-icon" aria-hidden="true" role="img" focusable="false" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="18" height="19" viewBox="0 0 18 19"><path fill="" d="M4.60069444,4.09375 L3.25,4.09375 C2.47334957,4.09375 1.84375,4.72334957 1.84375,5.5 L1.84375,7.26736111 L16.15625,7.26736111 L16.15625,5.5 C16.15625,4.72334957 15.5266504,4.09375 14.75,4.09375 L13.3993056,4.09375 L13.3993056,4.55555556 C13.3993056,5.02154581 13.0215458,5.39930556 12.5555556,5.39930556 C12.0895653,5.39930556 11.7118056,5.02154581 11.7118056,4.55555556 L11.7118056,4.09375 L6.28819444,4.09375 L6.28819444,4.55555556 C6.28819444,5.02154581 5.9104347,5.39930556 5.44444444,5.39930556 C4.97845419,5.39930556 4.60069444,5.02154581 4.60069444,4.55555556 L4.60069444,4.09375 Z M6.28819444,2.40625 L11.7118056,2.40625 L11.7118056,1 C11.7118056,0.534009742 12.0895653,0.15625 12.5555556,0.15625 C13.0215458,0.15625 13.3993056,0.534009742 13.3993056,1 L13.3993056,2.40625 L14.75,2.40625 C16.4586309,2.40625 17.84375,3.79136906 17.84375,5.5 L17.84375,15.875 C17.84375,17.5836309 16.4586309,18.96875 14.75,18.96875 L3.25,18.96875 C1.54136906,18.96875 0.15625,17.5836309 0.15625,15.875 L0.15625,5.5 C0.15625,3.79136906 1.54136906,2.40625 3.25,2.40625 L4.60069444,2.40625 L4.60069444,1 C4.60069444,0.534009742 4.97845419,0.15625 5.44444444,0.15625 C5.9104347,0.15625 6.28819444,0.534009742 6.28819444,1 L6.28819444,2.40625 Z M1.84375,8.95486111 L1.84375,15.875 C1.84375,16.6516504 2.47334957,17.28125 3.25,17.28125 L14.75,17.28125 C15.5266504,17.28125 16.15625,16.6516504 16.15625,15.875 L16.15625,8.95486111 L1.84375,8.95486111 Z" /></svg> </span> <span class="meta-text"> <a href="https://worldrowing-admin.soticcloud.net/2013/03/23/world-cup-feature-coaches-have-their-say/">March 23, 2013</a> </span> </li> </ul><!-- .post-meta --> </div><!-- .post-meta-wrapper --> </div><!-- .entry-header-inner --> </header><!-- .entry-header --> <div class="post-inner thin "> <div class="entry-content"> <p> These coaches often come from a background of being a rower. Laurel Korholz of the United States is a former Olympic medallist who now works as a coach with her former coach. Gianni Postiglione of Italy was still rowing when he got offered a coaching position.</p> <p> Here is a quick couple of minutes with two top coaches.</p> <p> <strong>• On becoming a coach</strong><br /> “I was rowing for Tom (Terhaar) for five or six year and I was ready to retire after the Athens Olympics. He asked if I wanted to coach. I said I’d give it a shot. It’s eight years later and he hasn’t fired me yet,” – Laurel Korholz (USA assistant coach to Tom Terhaar)</p> <p> “I wanted to continue to be a rower and I was waiting for a proposal from my club (it didn’t come). The Naples club (Italy) at the same time was asking for a coach and offered the job to me and I started. My idea was that it would be temporary. My dream was to work in a telephone company. The club said they’d find me a position in the phone company. I’m still waiting,” – Gianni Postiglione (Greece head coach)</p> <p> <strong>• On which part of the stroke is the most important</strong><br /> “No, I don’t focus on a certain part. Every athlete is different,” – Korholz</p> <p> <strong>• On the steps in transitioning from rower to coach</strong><br /> “The first step is to do well in what your coach had done wrong. The second step is ‘do what I do’. So as a coach you show them. But it’s not about showing, it’s about feeling and many rowers don’t have a feeling of their body, especially beginners. The third step is when athletes don’t understand what you say so you just repeat the same thing. But if they don’t understand then as a coach you need to change your approach and change what you’re saying,” – Postiglione</p> <p> <strong>• On what rower(s) they admire in terms of technique</strong><br /> “For technique (James) Tomkins and for ability to win, (Matthew) Pinsent and the Romanian women’s pair. You don’t have to look pretty to win,” – Korholz</p> <figure class="archive float-right"><img alt="DSC_5549" src="/uploads/files/7758f073531b3eac0357434b815f9556.jpg"><figcaption>Coaches and other team members wait on their bikes at the start of the lightweight women’s double sculls heat at the 2013 Samsung World Rowing Cup in Penrith near Sydney, Australia.</figcaption></figure> <p> <strong>• On favourite balance drills</strong><br /> “I’m the last person to talk to about balance,” – Korholz</p> <p> <strong>• On where to be found when your athletes are racing</strong><br /> “I watch them from the bike if possible or on TV. During a week-long World Championships there is time to improve on technique,” – Postiglione</p> <p> “On the bike path,” – Korholz</p> </div><!-- .entry-content --> </div><!-- .post-inner --> <div class="section-inner"> </div><!-- .section-inner --> </article><!-- .post --> <hr class="post-separator styled-separator is-style-wide section-inner" aria-hidden="true" /> <article class="post-11796 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry" id="post-11796"> <header class="entry-header has-text-align-center"> <div class="entry-header-inner section-inner medium"> <h2 class="entry-title heading-size-1"><a href="https://worldrowing-admin.soticcloud.net/2013/03/22/nomination-process-opens-for-new-parmigiani-spirit-award/">Nomination process opens for new Parmigiani Spirit Award</a></h2> <div class="post-meta-wrapper post-meta-single post-meta-single-top"> <ul class="post-meta"> <li class="post-author meta-wrapper"> <span class="meta-icon"> <span class="screen-reader-text"> Post author </span> <svg class="svg-icon" aria-hidden="true" role="img" focusable="false" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="18" height="20" viewBox="0 0 18 20"><path fill="" d="M18,19 C18,19.5522847 17.5522847,20 17,20 C16.4477153,20 16,19.5522847 16,19 L16,17 C16,15.3431458 14.6568542,14 13,14 L5,14 C3.34314575,14 2,15.3431458 2,17 L2,19 C2,19.5522847 1.55228475,20 1,20 C0.44771525,20 0,19.5522847 0,19 L0,17 C0,14.2385763 2.23857625,12 5,12 L13,12 C15.7614237,12 18,14.2385763 18,17 L18,19 Z M9,10 C6.23857625,10 4,7.76142375 4,5 C4,2.23857625 6.23857625,0 9,0 C11.7614237,0 14,2.23857625 14,5 C14,7.76142375 11.7614237,10 9,10 Z M9,8 C10.6568542,8 12,6.65685425 12,5 C12,3.34314575 10.6568542,2 9,2 C7.34314575,2 6,3.34314575 6,5 C6,6.65685425 7.34314575,8 9,8 Z" /></svg> </span> <span class="meta-text"> By <a href="https://worldrowing-admin.soticcloud.net/author/jmcconnell/">Jonathan MCconnell</a> </span> </li> <li class="post-date meta-wrapper"> <span class="meta-icon"> <span class="screen-reader-text"> Post date </span> <svg class="svg-icon" aria-hidden="true" role="img" focusable="false" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="18" height="19" viewBox="0 0 18 19"><path fill="" d="M4.60069444,4.09375 L3.25,4.09375 C2.47334957,4.09375 1.84375,4.72334957 1.84375,5.5 L1.84375,7.26736111 L16.15625,7.26736111 L16.15625,5.5 C16.15625,4.72334957 15.5266504,4.09375 14.75,4.09375 L13.3993056,4.09375 L13.3993056,4.55555556 C13.3993056,5.02154581 13.0215458,5.39930556 12.5555556,5.39930556 C12.0895653,5.39930556 11.7118056,5.02154581 11.7118056,4.55555556 L11.7118056,4.09375 L6.28819444,4.09375 L6.28819444,4.55555556 C6.28819444,5.02154581 5.9104347,5.39930556 5.44444444,5.39930556 C4.97845419,5.39930556 4.60069444,5.02154581 4.60069444,4.55555556 L4.60069444,4.09375 Z M6.28819444,2.40625 L11.7118056,2.40625 L11.7118056,1 C11.7118056,0.534009742 12.0895653,0.15625 12.5555556,0.15625 C13.0215458,0.15625 13.3993056,0.534009742 13.3993056,1 L13.3993056,2.40625 L14.75,2.40625 C16.4586309,2.40625 17.84375,3.79136906 17.84375,5.5 L17.84375,15.875 C17.84375,17.5836309 16.4586309,18.96875 14.75,18.96875 L3.25,18.96875 C1.54136906,18.96875 0.15625,17.5836309 0.15625,15.875 L0.15625,5.5 C0.15625,3.79136906 1.54136906,2.40625 3.25,2.40625 L4.60069444,2.40625 L4.60069444,1 C4.60069444,0.534009742 4.97845419,0.15625 5.44444444,0.15625 C5.9104347,0.15625 6.28819444,0.534009742 6.28819444,1 L6.28819444,2.40625 Z M1.84375,8.95486111 L1.84375,15.875 C1.84375,16.6516504 2.47334957,17.28125 3.25,17.28125 L14.75,17.28125 C15.5266504,17.28125 16.15625,16.6516504 16.15625,15.875 L16.15625,8.95486111 L1.84375,8.95486111 Z" /></svg> </span> <span class="meta-text"> <a href="https://worldrowing-admin.soticcloud.net/2013/03/22/nomination-process-opens-for-new-parmigiani-spirit-award/">March 22, 2013</a> </span> </li> </ul><!-- .post-meta --> </div><!-- .post-meta-wrapper --> </div><!-- .entry-header-inner --> </header><!-- .entry-header --> <div class="post-inner thin "> <div class="entry-content"> <p>http://www.youtube.com/v/A7cbgf65rPY</p> <p> The announcement was made in Sydney (Australia) at the first stage of the 2013 Samsung World Rowing Cup, the opening regatta of the international season.</p> <p> The Parmigiani Spirit Award will be made to a university rower who has demonstrated the core values of rowing in his/her social, academic and sporting life, and, through these values, also enabled or inspired exceptional success in other people's lives – for example in education, business, sports or charity.</p> <p> The Parmigiani Spirit Award is open to current university students worldwide who study full time and row regularly for a university rowing club.

It is a rarity and a novelty for Australia's best to race the best in the world on their home waters.</p> <p> <img alt="Rowing at 1956 Olympic Games" src="/uploads/files/GettyImages_113303580.jpg"></p> <p> <strong>1956 Melbourne Olympic Games</strong><br /> The rowing events for the 1956 Olympics were held east of Melbourne at Lake Wendouree in the town of Ballarat. With seven events available for men only, it represented a comparatively small gathering of elite rowers. However, the quality was extremely high with ten nations enjoying medal success. The legendary Soviet sculler Vyacheslav Ivanov took the singles title, his first of three Olympic golds, ahead of local favourite Stuart McKenzie with the famous John Kelly Jnr (USA) claiming bronze.</p> <p> The Soviets were dominant in the two sculling events and the United States was equally foreboding in the sweep categories, claiming three golds including the men's eight. Italy and Canada were the surprise gold medal winners in the coxed and coxless fours. Australian rowing legend Merv Wood, at age 39, won a bronze medal in the double sculls (with Murray Riley) and Wood became the first Australian to carry the flag at two opening ceremonies: Helsinki 1952 and again in Melbourne.</p> <p> <strong>1990 World Rowing Championships, Lake Barrington, Tasmania</strong><br /> Thomas Keller, FISA’s president, was invited to Tasmania in 1984 for the Australian National Championships to assess the possibility of the "Apple State" hosting a FISA Championships. After seeing the sheer beauty of Tasmania, sampling the hospitality of its people and witnessing the flawless organisation of the Nationals on perfect water, Keller remarked to former Rowing Australia CEO David Schier, "This is a place the world needs to see."</p> <p> Lake Barrington was subsequently awarded the 1990 World Rowing Championships after a successful bid. The enthusiasm of the local community was immense. Schier remarked, "The volunteer requirements were filled within days.”</p> <p> It was a welcome change for Australian rowers who usually had to make the trek overseas to get to big events every year. At the championships, Australian rowing stalwart Peter Antonie won a bronze medal in the men’s double sculls with Paul Reedy. Antonie remarked, "It was good to let them (rival athletes) go through the big travel gig for a change, and into the depths of the Tassie bush!"</p> <p> Rowing in Australia went through a renaissance at this time and has never looked back. The regatta saw the first of many championship wins by the "Oarsome Foursome" men’s four. The regatta also saw the emergence of a formidable raft of successful Australian lightweight rowers, including Tasmanian abalone diver, Steve Hawkins, who went on to win Olympic gold with Antonie in Barcelona two years later. This World Championship hosted a record 41 competing nations and following the collapse of the Berlin Wall a year earlier, it was the last regatta where East and West Germany would compete as separate entities. </p> <p> <img alt="Rowing on the Yarra River" src="/uploads/files/163313189.jpg"></p> <p> <strong>1993 World Cup, Yarra River, Melbourne</strong><br /> Starting in 1990, FISA had a World Cup series in a different format than the one existing today. It was for men and women single scullers only. In 1993, one round was held at the Australian Henley Regatta on the Yarra River in Melbourne. The Australian Henley Regatta is held on a two-lane course with two sweeping bends and several bridges to be negotiated, a perfect test of all-round single sculling ability. Many of the world’s best scullers at the time had difficulty outside the comfort zone of the Albano (buoyed course) system.</p> <p> Peter Antonie, competing on his home river, won the men's event after an epic tussle with Sergio Fernandez of Argentina in the final. Antonie recalls, "We collided hard with 800m to go and got entangled. However, I managed to hook a stroke onto a section of his boat and broke clear to a roar from the crowd. I think Sergio couldn’t believe what had happened and wasn’t able to respond. To me it was business as usual on the Yarra."</p> <p> World double scull champion Brenda Lawson from New Zealand won the women's event.</p> <p> <img alt="Sydney 2000 Olympic Games" src="/uploads/files/1054128.jpg"></p> <p> <strong>2000 Sydney Olympic Games</strong><br /> Much hype and expectation was placed around the Sydney Olympic Games and it did not disappoint. The city of Sydney went into Olympic overdrive to produce arguably the best Games in the modern era. The rowing events were staged at the purpose-built venue in Penrith, the scene for this year’s World Rowing Cup.</p> <p> In 2000, the whole world had their eyes trained on Great Britain’s Steve Redgrave and his coxless four as he looked to enter the history books with a fifth consecutive Olympic gold medal. Redgrave raced into the rowing annals after a hard fought battle with the Italians and the Australian men’s four.</p> <p> The French men’s pair of Michel Andrieux and Jean-Christophe Rolland revolutionised race plans with a searing final sprint push just after the halfway point that devastated the field. New Zealander, Rob Waddell dominated the men’s single sculls, opening the floodgates for the New Zealand rowing invasion that was to follow. Olympic rowing also nearly saw a dead heat in the women’s single sculls when judges took almost 30 minutes to separate Ekaterina Karsten (BLR) and Rumyana Neykova (BUL) on the finish line. Karsten took the gold medal by 0.01 of a second.</p> <p> The Australian rowing community is well aware that global rowing events rarely visit their nation. Like their New Zealand counterparts, they grab the opportunity with both hands to showcase their rowers, their nation and their passion for delivering top sporting events. They know more than most on what it is like to travel to the other side of the world to compete and this is a key ingredient in their successful organisation of past rowing events. The 2013 Samsung World Rowing Cup is continuing the trend. </p> <p> <em>– Gearoid Towey</em></p> </div><!-- .entry-content --> </div><!-- .post-inner --> <div class="section-inner"> </div><!-- .section-inner --> </article><!-- .post --> <hr class="post-separator styled-separator is-style-wide section-inner" aria-hidden="true" /> <article class="post-11798 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-coastal" id="post-11798"> <header class="entry-header has-text-align-center"> <div class="entry-header-inner section-inner medium"> <div class="entry-categories"> <span class="screen-reader-text"> Categories </span> <div class="entry-categories-inner"> <a href="https://worldrowing-admin.soticcloud.net/category/coastal/" rel="category tag">Coastal</a> </div><!-- .entry-categories-inner --> </div><!-- .entry-categories --> <h2 class="entry-title heading-size-1"><a href="https://worldrowing-admin.soticcloud.net/2013/03/19/solo-rower-breaks-atlantic-rowing-record/">Solo rower breaks Atlantic rowing record</a></h2> <div class="post-meta-wrapper post-meta-single post-meta-single-top"> <ul class="post-meta"> <li class="post-author meta-wrapper"> <span class="meta-icon"> <span class="screen-reader-text"> Post author </span> <svg class="svg-icon" aria-hidden="true" role="img" focusable="false" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="18" height="20" viewBox="0 0 18 20"><path fill="" d="M18,19 C18,19.5522847 17.5522847,20 17,20 C16.4477153,20 16,19.5522847 16,19 L16,17 C16,15.3431458 14.6568542,14 13,14 L5,14 C3.34314575,14 2,15.3431458 2,17 L2,19 C2,19.5522847 1.55228475,20 1,20 C0.44771525,20 0,19.5522847 0,19 L0,17 C0,14.2385763 2.23857625,12 5,12 L13,12 C15.7614237,12 18,14.2385763 18,17 L18,19 Z M9,10 C6.23857625,10 4,7.76142375 4,5 C4,2.23857625 6.23857625,0 9,0 C11.7614237,0 14,2.23857625 14,5 C14,7.76142375 11.7614237,10 9,10 Z M9,8 C10.6568542,8 12,6.65685425 12,5 C12,3.34314575 10.6568542,2 9,2 C7.34314575,2 6,3.34314575 6,5 C6,6.65685425 7.34314575,8 9,8 Z" /></svg> </span> <span class="meta-text"> By <a href="https://worldrowing-admin.soticcloud.net/author/jmcconnell/">Jonathan MCconnell</a> </span> </li> <li class="post-date meta-wrapper"> <span class="meta-icon"> <span class="screen-reader-text"> Post date </span> <svg class="svg-icon" aria-hidden="true" role="img" focusable="false" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="18" height="19" viewBox="0 0 18 19"><path fill="" d="M4.60069444,4.09375 L3.25,4.09375 C2.47334957,4.09375 1.84375,4.72334957 1.84375,5.5 L1.84375,7.26736111 L16.15625,7.26736111 L16.15625,5.5 C16.15625,4.72334957 15.5266504,4.09375 14.75,4.09375 L13.3993056,4.09375 L13.3993056,4.55555556 C13.3993056,5.02154581 13.0215458,5.39930556 12.5555556,5.39930556 C12.0895653,5.39930556 11.7118056,5.02154581 11.7118056,4.55555556 L11.7118056,4.09375 L6.28819444,4.09375 L6.28819444,4.55555556 C6.28819444,5.02154581 5.9104347,5.39930556 5.44444444,5.39930556 C4.97845419,5.39930556 4.60069444,5.02154581 4.60069444,4.55555556 L4.60069444,4.09375 Z M6.28819444,2.40625 L11.7118056,2.40625 L11.7118056,1 C11.7118056,0.534009742 12.0895653,0.15625 12.5555556,0.15625 C13.0215458,0.15625 13.3993056,0.534009742 13.3993056,1 L13.3993056,2.40625 L14.75,2.40625 C16.4586309,2.40625 17.84375,3.79136906 17.84375,5.5 L17.84375,15.875 C17.84375,17.5836309 16.4586309,18.96875 14.75,18.96875 L3.25,18.96875 C1.54136906,18.96875 0.15625,17.5836309 0.15625,15.875 L0.15625,5.5 C0.15625,3.79136906 1.54136906,2.40625 3.25,2.40625 L4.60069444,2.40625 L4.60069444,1 C4.60069444,0.534009742 4.97845419,0.15625 5.44444444,0.15625 C5.9104347,0.15625 6.28819444,0.534009742 6.28819444,1 L6.28819444,2.40625 Z M1.84375,8.95486111 L1.84375,15.875 C1.84375,16.6516504 2.47334957,17.28125 3.25,17.28125 L14.75,17.28125 C15.5266504,17.28125 16.15625,16.6516504 16.15625,15.875 L16.15625,8.95486111 L1.84375,8.95486111 Z" /></svg> </span> <span class="meta-text"> <a href="https://worldrowing-admin.soticcloud.net/2013/03/19/solo-rower-breaks-atlantic-rowing-record/">March 19, 2013</a> </span> </li> </ul><!-- .post-meta --> </div><!-- .post-meta-wrapper --> </div><!-- .entry-header-inner --> </header><!-- .entry-header --> <div class="post-inner thin "> <div class="entry-content"> <p> Pitcher started in La Gomera, Canary Islands and followed the trade winds across the Atlantic finishing in Port St Charles, Barbados.<br /> Boat speed is hugely dependent on weather conditions. In 2010, as part of the Woodvale Challenge, Pitcher set out to cross the Atlantic in record time but it ended up taking him 52 days with ten of those days spent being blown backwards. This crossing inspired Pitcher to do it again with the belief that if he got the right weather conditions then he could break the record.</p> <p> The solo record was then broken by Andrew Brown during the 2012 Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge. Brown finished in 40 days 9 hours 41 min, just 26 minutes slower than the overall Challenge winners, a men’s double.</p> <p> Pitcher’s time of 35 days, 33 minutes ranks him as faster than the fastest four and fastest double to row the Atlantic.</p> <p> Right from the start Pitcher set out to break the World Record for a solo row of the Atlantic aiming to go under 40 days. After reaching Barbados, Pitcher wrote in his log, “As for the World record attempt? It was successful. I dreamed of being the first person to break 40 days to cross the Atlantic solo rowing.”</p> <p> As well as ocean rowing Pitcher, 50, has completed ultra-running challenges including the Marathon Des Sables across the Sahara Desert.
