BEST OF ROWING Day 2 - 12 AUG 2022

The racing was hard and furious at the Olympic Regatta Centre on Friday, determining the crews who will contest Saturday’s medal races and the remaining semifinals at the European Rowing Championships. Some crews had to overcome obstacles to make it through. The British men’s quadruple sculls crew suffered an upset early in the race when Matthew Haywood (GBR) got his blade stuck in a wave, stopping them dead. The British crew remained calm and fought back to take the third and last spot in their semifinal behind Poland and Romania. There was also an exciting race in the second quadruple sculls semifinal, as Estonia produced the fastest second 1,000m to finish in the third qualifying spot, behind Italy and France. The crew includes 43-year-old Tõnu Endrekson (EST), competing in his 14th European Rowing Championships and looking for a sixth European medal. #Munich2022 __________ Am Freitag wurden bei den Ruder-Europameisterschaften an der Olympia-Regattaanlage die Mannschaften
