Olympic men’s four champions underline their form

The three continuing Olympic men’s four champions, Alex Gregory, Peter Reed and Andrew Triggs Hodge underlined their form by taking the top two spots in this morning’s time trials in the GB Rowing Team Senior & U23 Trials men’s pair.

Triggs Hodge, racing here at the Caversham national training centre, with Molesey team-mate and Olympic men’s eight bronze medallist Mohamed Sbihi took top slot over the 1900m course in 6:22.41.

Gregory and Reed were second in 6:27.12. The top-ranked pairs now avoid each other until tomorrow morning’s final for which they are favourites to qualify.

The semi-final draw for this afternoon has pitched the Leander pairing of Reed and Gregory against their club mates and 2011 World men’s eight silver medallists Dan Ritchie and Tom Ransley.

Sbihi and Triggs Hodge’s closest challengers look set to be World silver medallist Nathaniel Reilly O’Donnell and Alan Sinclair although Oxford Brookes University’s Scott Durant and Matt Tarrant were only two seconds behind them in the time trial this morning.

Alan Campbell, already an eight-times Trials winner, was the quickest in the men’s single time trial. He was just under a second ahead of squad newcomer Peter Lambert with Matt Langridge taking third on his return to competition.

Australian Youth Olympic gold medallist Jack Beaumont was one of three U23s who broke into the top 12. He was ninth in 7:06.18 whilst Stewart Innes as 11th in 7:09.61. But the top U23 finishes was Angus Groom in seventh place.

Beaumont now finds himself in the same semi-final this afternoon as Olympians Campbell, Sam Townsend, Bill Lucas and European medallist Graeme Thomas. Langridge will face Lambert as well as Olympian Charles Cousins and Sydney World Cup finalist Jonathan Walton.

The light women’s single time trial was won by Imogen Walsh of London RC from Ruth Walczak and Kathryn Twyman. Eleanor Piggott, a former World U23 team member, showed her progress by taking fourth in 8:01.95.

Brianna Stubbs and Emily Craig were the other two U23s who made it into the top 10 in this event.

Twyman and Walczak are drawn in the same semi-final this afternoon.

2012 Olympic reserve Adam Freeman Pask, winner of last year’s Trials overall, topped the light men’s single time trial results in 7:12.55. Brothers Peter and Richard Chambers were second and third whilst European medallists Will Fletcher, Chris Boddy, Sam Scrimgeour and Jonno Clegg were all in the top 10 as were Olympic lightweight men’s four silver medallist Chris Bartley and Matthew Bedford an U23 from the University of London.

The Chambers brothers now go head-to-head in this afternoon’s semi-finals with Srimgeour and Bartley also in contention.

Freeman-Pask heads the other semi which includes Fletcher, Boddy and Clegg.

The women’s single scull time-trial was won by Frances Houghton. The four times Olympian was almost exactly two seconds quicker than Melanie Wilson. Both competed together at the 2012 Games in the women’s quad.

Louise Reeve marked a return from long injury rehab to take third in 7:41.89 ahead of Helen Glover, the Olympic women’s pair champion.

Glover will face Houghton in this afternoon’s semi-finals in a tough draw which includes Houghton’s women’s double bronze medal crew-mate from Sydney a month ago, Vicky Meyer-Laker.
