Team Selected for Historic GB v France J16 Match
After an enforced break since 2019, the GB Rowing Team has selected a full strength team to race at the Olympic venue of Vaires sur Marne on Thursday, 7 July 2022 for the 40th edition of the GB v France J16 Match.
The GB v France J16 Match is a 1,500m head-to-head race between the two countries who each take it in turn to host the competition.
Peter Sheppard, Deputy Director of Olympic Pathways said: “The GB v France J16 Match is the first step on British Rowing’s Olympic Performance Pathway and gives athletes the opportunity to represent their country and experience a pre-competition camp, team travel, and international competition.”
“A strength of the team selection is that, with the exception of the 8+, crews are made up of rowers from single rowing programmes which promotes strong club units who have trained together and have had a good season of domestic racing. It will be exciting to see how the next generation of young rowers perform when they are side by side against the French.”
