Junior men’s eight win back to back golds at the Coupe de la Jeunesse

GB won the girls’ match at the 14-nation Coupe de La Jeunesse event over the weekend in Ottensheim, Austria, and finished second overall to Italy having taken seven gold, four silver and two bronze medals over the three days of competition.

“This was a very professional squad on and off the water and the most enjoyable to take overseas that I’ve been involved with”, said GB Team Manager Richard Follett.

Clearly pleased with the squad who stepped up during the regatta, Follett had particular praise for the crews that won gold on both days – the boys’ and girls’ quads and the boys’ eight.

“They did very well, particularly the boys’ eight. It is tough to win back to back like that and the stern four of the eight also doubled to win a silver and a gold apiece in the coxed four across the two days”, he said.

GB Results across the competition days were:

Girls’

Pair – bronze and fourth
Four – fourth and fourth
Eight – silver
Single – fourth and sixth
Double – sixth and fourth
Quad – gold, gold

Boys’
