Munich test ends in four medals for GB Rowing Team Juniors
The GB Rowing Team鈥檚 juniors returned from the Munich Junior International over the weekend with two silvers and two bronzes as they continue their early preparation for the World Junior Championships in the summer.
GB鈥檚 junior men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 quads both took silvers yesterday and the men鈥檚 eight won bronze to add to the junior women鈥檚 double bronze from Saturday.
With many other nations race-ready in preparation for the European Junior Championships in the next few weeks, this was a creditable haul for GB who do not generally enter the European Juniors as they clash with the National Schools Championships in the UK.
GB Team Manager John Layng said: 鈥淚 was pleased that our team in Munich was able to step up from Saturday into Sunday and we know that means they can move forward again for the summer.
鈥淭his event is an ideal testing regatta for us. It gives our rowers some great experience and the opportunity to race with other World Championships medal hopeful crews”.
The Germans were understandably strong on their home waters, using the event as a selection regatta so that each event was brimful of their national composite and regional crews.
Racing was delayed by 90 minutes on Saturday to allow thunderstorms to pass through but otherwise the racing conditions were very fair over the weekend.
