Australian Rowing Team Sets Winning Tone for the 2022 World Rowing Championships
Day 1: Sunday, 18th September 2022
Day one of the 2022 World Rowing Championships saw a great start for the Australian Rowing Team (ART) with four heat wins across seven boat classes.
The biggest event at the Regatta was the Men’s Single Scull, with Jack Cleary (WARC), Tokyo 2020 Bronze Medallist, the ART representative. Jack came third in his heat to qualify for the Quarter-Finals. Post-race, Jack said;
| “It was good to get my debut in the Single Scull on the international stage. It was great to be up against the best in the world in a really quality field. Still a few things to work on but I have achieved my first goal, which is to qualify for the Quarter-Finals.” |
Rowing Australia, Performance Director Paul Thompson MBE said;
| “The conditions were cold blustery, and a bit miserable. However, our rowers handled it well and we managed to get four Heat wins, which is very positive.” |
Day 2: Monday, 19th September 2022
Day two saw Olympic Champions from the Men's and Women's Coxless Fours get the ART off to a fantastic start by winning their respective heats.
The Women’s Four of Lucy Stephan OAM, Annabelle McIntyre OAM (FRC), Kat Werry and Bronnie Cox (UWABC), led their race from start to finish to comfortably qualify for the A/B Semi Finals. Post-race, Werry said;
| “We had a really strong start leading into the World Championships this week [in practice]. We are also happy with our middle 1000m. We will now take every race as it comes, just fine tuning our technique, we don’t have a whole lot to find it is just emphasising on what we are already doing well and building on that as the week goes on.” |
Women’s Head Coach, John Keogh, commented;
| “It was a good race today, getting your first race out of the way and having a good performance [at the World Championships] is important, and our Women’s Coxless Four had a good solid hit-out." |
