World Rowing Junior Championships

A-Finals in Varese Start TONIGHT!

Today sees the start of the A-Finals in the Under 23 category of the World Rowing Under 19 & 23 Championships.  The Under 19 crews will begin their Repechage & Quarter-Final races.

Yesterday's racing (day 4) saw the Australian team start Day 4 with a winning start from one of the youngest combinations, the Under 19 Men's Coxed Four, booking themselves into the A-Final winning their race in a time of 6:19.09.

The first race in the Under 23 category was the Women’s Lightweight Single Semi-Final.  Only the top three would qualify for the A-Final and Grace Sypher’s game plan was to start and finish strong.  A well-executed race meant Grace finished third and will go straight into the A-Final.

The final race of the day was the Under 23 Men’s Quadruple Scull C-Final.  The quartet of Alexander Rossi (WARC/WAIS), Xavier Hall-Sullivan, Lukas Matic and Marcus Della Marta led from start to finish and were never challenged.  The win gave them an overall world ranking of 13th.
