It is the first gold for the UK in the event since 2015
An Olympic rower from West Northamptonshire has rounded off a remarkable unbeaten season by helping his team win gold at the World Rowing Championships. The 28-year-old already has an Olympic bronze and European gold in the bag, and ends the season as world champion.
The crew have won all four races they entered this season, adding the world title to European gold and top position in two prestigious World Cup events. It is hardly surprising, given three of the crew were part of the men’s eight that won bronze at last summer’s Olympics in Tokyo.Rudkin, who also won bronze medals in the past two championships, said: “It’s been a great year.
The GB crew won Tuesday’s heat comfortably from Romania and got out of the blocks for one of their strongest starts of the season in the final. They opened up an early canvas lead on the Netherlands but they came charging back in the back half of the race, sprinting hard for the line and cutting the British lead.At NorthantsLive we're more than just news. We cover what people are talking about every day and celebrate the very best that this incredible part of the world has to offer.
“We were looking good but the Dutch were absolutely smashing into the line. We had to really be on our A-game coming through to finish but credit to the guys who put everything in.

Acute exposure to air pollutants increase the risk of acute glaucoma - BMC Public HealthBackground Ambient air pollution is related to the onset and progression of ocular disease. However, the effect of air pollutants on the acute glaucoma remains unclear. Objective To investigate the effect of air pollutants on the incidence of acute glaucoma (acute angle closure glaucoma and glaucomatocyclitic crisis) among adults. Methods We conducted a time-stratified case-crossover study based on the data of glaucoma outpatients from January, 2015 to Dec, 2021 in Shanghai, China. A conditional logistic regression model combined with a polynomial distributed lag model was applied for the statistical analysis. Each case serves as its own referent by comparing exposures on the day of the outpatient visit to the exposures on the other 3–4 control days on the same week, month and year. To fully capture the delayed effect of air pollution, we used a maximum lag of 7 days in main model. Results A total of 14,385 acute glaucoma outpatients were included in this study. We found exposure to PM2.5, PM10, nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and carbon monoxide (CO) significantly increased the odds of outpatient visit for acute glaucoma. Wherein the odds of acute glaucoma related to PM2.5 and NO2 were higher and more sustained, with OR of 1.07 (95%CI: 1.03–1.11) and 1.12 (95% CI: 1.08–1.17) for an IQR increase over lag 0–3 days, than PM10 and CO over lag 0–1 days (OR:1.03; 95% CI: 1.01–1.05; OR: 1.04; 95% CI: 1.01–1.07). Conclusions This case-crossover study provided first-hand evidence that air pollutants, especially PM2.5 and NO2, significantly increased risk of acute glaucoma.
