Foad and Gotrel move to GB Rowing Team eights for World Cup

The GB Rowing Team has switched Olympic bronze medallist James Foad and newcomer Matt Gotrel into its two men’s eights for the world cup at Eton Dorney next week (June 21- 23).

Southampton’s Foad and Gotrel, from Chipping Campden, had been poised to race a pair at the 2012 Olympic venue but a reshuffle because of the withdrawal through illness of Alex Gregory sees Foad move into GBR1 with Gotrel taking up a seat in GBR 2.

GB has also split up its women’s eight now that there is no event available for them and will race two more women’s pairs and a second women’s quad.

London Olympians and 2011 World women’s eight bronze medallists Katie Greves of Oxford and Londoner Louisa Reeve form one pair as GBR2 whilst their Olympic counterpart Jess Eddie, from Durham, teams up with Oxford’s Olivia Carnegie-Brown in GBR3.

Olympic champion Helen Glover, from Cornwall, and her Sydney world cup gold partner Polly Swann, from Edinburgh, were already entered into the event and are GBR1.

GB’s second women’s quadruple scull now includes the 2010 World Champion in this event, Beth Rodford, from Gloucester, with Zoe Lee, Katherine Douglas and Sarah Cowburn. Lee and Cowburn have both raced at world cup level in this boat class before.

Notes to Editors’
The World Rowing Cup at Eton Dorney is part of UK Sport’s Gold Event Series.
UK Sport is the nation’s high performance sports agency and invested £313million of National Lottery and Government money in preparing the British Olympic and Paralympic team for London 2012 where they achieved incredible success winning 65 and 120 medals respectively
Its Gold Event Series will invest £27million of National Lottery funding to support the bidding and staging costs of major sporting events on home soil, as well as providing specialist support to organisers. Events are supported to build on the wonderful success of London 2012 through their likely performance impact, but also to maximise the wider sporting, social, cultural, economic and environmental benefits.
The Gold Event Series will aim to bring over 70 of the world’s most prestigious sporting events to the UK, including 36 World and European Championships. This ambitious programme will support British athletes’ preparation and qualification for Rio 2016, while generating approximately £287 million of additional expenditure in host cities and regions and bringing over 250,000 overseas visitors to the UK. Events already secured include the 2017 World Athletics and IPC Athletics Championships to be staged in the London Olympic Stadium and the 2015 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships at the Hydro Arena in Glasgow.
