Gold for New Zealand pair in World Under 23 Rowing Champs
Gold for New Zealand pair in World Under 23 Rowing
Champs
New Zealand has its first medals
from the Under 23 Rowing World Championships and there was a
superb gold for the women's pair of Kayla Pratt and Kelsey
Bevan in Trakai, Lithuania.
After a tense start
where they were second at 500 metres behind Great Britain -
the girls then powered away to take a tiny lead at halfway
and kept on going to move out to a clear lead at the 1500
metre marker before coming home some five seconds to the
good for the win. Britain took silver and Germany
bronze.
There were also two bronze medals - for the
men's coxed four of Michael Berry, Alex Kennedy, Axel
Dickinson, Robert Kells and Caleb Shepherd and the women's
quadruple scull of Olivia Loe, Genevieve Behrent, Lucy
Spoors and Linda
Matthews.
