Britain’s successful start to the Olympic rowing continued today with success for both of the two women’s crews who were in action in the repechage. Midway through the regatta, Team GB now has 11 of its 12 boats still chasing medals.
Hester Goodsell and Helen Casey in the lightweight double, led their race from start to finish where they marginally edged out Greece. Casey claimed afterwards that there was “more to come”. Their semi-final is tomorrow.
Their success was followed by the women’s pair, Louisa Reeve and Olivia Whitlam, whose second place behind New Zealand takes them straight through to Saturday’s final. Reeve and Whitlam were thrilled with their achievement today; up until May, Reeve was still fighting for a place in the eight and Whitlam was not even in the senior squad. The first time they competed as a pair was at the last-chance Olympic qualification regatta in Poznan in June.
