WA's Women's Coxless Four Wins Gold!
The Open Women’s Coxless Four was a battle all the way down the 2000m course this morning. Four crews all pushed & overlapped one another from start to finish, with Olympic Champion in this boat class Annabelle McIntyre OAM (FRC) leading the entirely WA combination over the finish line first to win the Herald and Weekly Times Trophy.
It was the second final in less than an hour for new Australian Team Member Genevieve Hart of Fremantle RC, joking that the gold in the Under 23 Women’s Double Scull 50 minutes prior was like a “warm up” for this race.
“It’s a massive privilege to row with the Olympians [McIntyre and Giorgia Patten of West Australian RC]. They’re such an inspiration, so it’s amazing to learn from them. I’m really grateful to have the opportunity,” Hart said.
McIntyre said the combination, with fourth rower Jacqui Swick of Swan River RC – also new on the Australian Rowing Team – were a scratch combination that just worked.
“All four of us were really diligent in just accepting whatever we needed to do to get the boat to work and to get the boat going as fast as possible” McIntyre said.
