Noticed on the Team USA site that they have partnered with Goodr sunglasses. These are affordable colourful glasses which are apparently ideal for rowing. Not sure where they are made but you can buy them in a major chain of stores called Target

Well World Rowing now has a Masters Handicap calculator. It seems a bit conservative to me benefiting younger masters but thats my opinion. masters.worldrowing.com/handicap

How many years did that take 🤣

Only 850 days to the LA Olympics. 1500m course, shortest in Olympic history, that will take some adjustment to race and training plans but it may actually improve the spectator experience

Regatta fees and not in a good way. An American buddy of mine was whining over the weekend about Rowfest fees. $119 for a 1x, $299 for 4x. Seems in 2021 is was $74 and $202

Yes costs rise but it looks like stateside US Rowing is slowly killing the Golden Goose

Sometimes I think, I'm not smart enough or too lazy . I hear that Blaise Metreweli the new head of MI6 (and first ever female leader) also won the Womens Boat Race with Cambridge in 1997 rowing at 5 and this year rowed in the Cambridge veterens race.

Possibly with false beard and eyebrows me thinks

What, yes, it's a service that allows you to post oars that you have but don't need and oars that you need because someone broke one. Only for the UK and Ireland but a good idea as these things are expensive and having a set of 7 sweeps or only a port scull is pretty useless.

Thank you, that makes a bit more sense 😁

Innovation in rowing. An occasional series.
Composite boats. Developed by Empacher with BASF in the 60s and with a Gold at the 1972 Munich olympics suddenly wood boats were out. Carbocraft in the UK and then Vespoli (with a Carbocraft boat) in the USA brought them to the masses.

Not being an Aussie I would ask why is the U23 Womens team based in the US and what are the advantages for doing that. I guess there are more events there so more practice but??
