SA men’s rowing pair are in Olympic medal territory‚ says coach Roger Barrow
The men’s pair of Lawrence Brittain and John Smith may have finished ninth at the world championships at the weekend‚ but national coach Roger Barrow says they’re in the medal mix for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
The pair was SA’s only boat to book qualification for the Games in Austria at the weekend‚ with two other crews missing out in what could be termed a disappointing campaign by SA.
The men’s four missed qualification by four spots and the lightweight women’s double sculls by five‚ meaning they will try again at a qualification regatta in Switzerland in May 2020.
The women’s pair‚ a late inclusion after they had made the podium at the under-23 world championships‚ were also five spots off qualification.
