Rowing: Girling excited by two boat challenge

Rebecca Girling will race in both the pair and the eight in the first World Cup of 2018.

Many of the British Rowing squad are doubling up at the first World Cup of the year in Belgrade, but it’s something that excites Girling.

β€œI’m looking forward to it, but they’re very different boats to row,” Girling told ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Radio Berkshire’s Tim Dellor. β€œThe eight is super fast, and for the pair you just have to be so in tune with the person you’re rowing with.

β€œWe don’t know how fast we are in comparison to the rest of the world, and we get to find out in two different boats.”

And Girling says she has ambitious aims for the competition.

β€œWe have no idea who else is going, but I’d love to be on the podium for both.

β€œWhenever I sit on a start line, my main priority is that we row the best we can.”
