Preparation for world championships Sept. 3-10 in Belgrade, Serbia
A crucial three-regatta European preparatory set concludes for the Island-based Canadian rowing team this weekend as 44 athletes in 13 crews will compete at World Cup III in Lucerne, Switzerland. The tour began last month at World Cup II in Varese, Italy, and continued through last weekend at the Royal Henley Regatta on the Thames.
“World Cup III [nearly 700 rowers representing 52 nations will be in Lucerne] presents another opportunity for our athletes to test their mettle against elite crews on the international stage,” Rowing Canada director of high performance Adam Parfitt of Sidney said in a statement. “Over the past five weeks, our athletes and coaches have garnered invaluable experience and we eagerly anticipate a resounding finish to this incredible journey over the weekend.
The defending Olympic champion Canadian women’s eight comes into Lucerne after having won the prestigious Remenham Challenge Cup last weekend at Henley. Another Canadian highlight at Henley was Jill Moffatt and Jenny Casson winning the women’s double Stonor Challenge Trophy.
