World Champs - Day 5
The weather was cool, with a slight cross-head breeze that favoured Lane 6 over Lane 1. Mixed results for the Aussies...
W1X: Belarus, Bulgaria and China are the medal prospects here. Karsten beat Neykova in race two, but the Chinese sculler was impressive in sculling through the Czech and American girls to win the first semi-final.
M1X: Peter didn't expect to get a top three finish here, especially from Lane 1, but he did account for the Swiss sculler on the other ...

World Champs - Day 4
The weather was cool with light but steady rain for today's races, and a very slight whisper of a head wind. Zoe made no mistake in her semi-final for the C/D finals, and had over six seconds lead at the 1000M.
She went on to win very comfortably in 8:06 flat. The other semi-final winner though, did 8:00 so it is between them for the C Final win. The selectors say this has been a very good effort for her first ...

Pete on the RA website
Here is the Interview with pete from the Rowing Australia website:
Peter Hardcastle has taken another step to his goal of qualifying the single scull for the Beijing Olympics with a strong performance in the quarterfinal
He spoke to RA after his warm down.
RA: Peter, there was a pump of the fist as you crossed the line, was that from satisfaction or relief?
PH: A bit of both really. Words can’t really explain how satisfying it is when you achieve a ...

World Champs - Day 3
It was the day-of-truth for a lot of athletes today - forward to semi-finals A/B or purgatory. Rain overnight and the weather was cooler with a slight cross-head wind, though not enough to be unfair. Time comparisons between events were therefore pretty meaningless.
Zoe was in good spirits this morning, and determined not to die wondering but she'd had no help from the Rowing Gods, drawing the Bulgarian world record holder Neykova, the Russian A finalist from last year, and Sweden's ...

Pete into the top 12
Pete Hardcastle, just rowed what Nick referred to as "the race of his career"!
Just a few weeks ago he was on holiday until he got the call to represent Australia in the single scull -- now he has placed himself in the top 12.
In the heats Cyprus had the fastest finish out of the entire field of 32, the opponent you don't want to be chasing...At 1.62 seconds behind at the 1000m, Pete put it all in and rowed down ...

World Champs - Day 2
Another perfect day for racing, totally calm and warm. Great results for the Aussies except in the women's quad, and several crews have emerged as medal prospects, even gold. I sat with the Aussie selectors, David Yates and Charlie Bartlett, and it was interesting to hear their insights into each of the crews. So here goes:
LM2-: Australia and Italy are the clear favorites after winning their heats in style in almost identical times. They were untroubled by any ...

World Champs - Day 1
Great results for the Mosman rowers in the heats today, as both Zoe and Peter went through safely to the quarter-finals. The other Australian crews performed as expected except for the women's HW 2X (the world champions though this is a completely different crew). The stand-out performance of the day, and the biggest surprise, was the men's HW 4-, who came second in their heat and are a chance not only to qualify the boat for Beijing (they must finish ...
