BRITAIN’S rowing selectors

-

have an Olympic dilemma after GB’s women’s eight sprang a surprise on the final day of the World Cup in Lucerne, Switzerlan­d by winning silver to add to their European gold. There have been suggestion­s two might be dropped for Katherine Grainger and Vicky Thornley but cox Zoe de Toledo told BBC: ‘This crew is capable of winning gold at Rio. If it’s made stronger, great, but if this is the crew we have I’m really excited about the next few months.’ The men’s four took advantage of an Australia error to take gold while there was also silver in the men’s quad and bronze in the men’s pair. Olympic champions Heather Stanning and Helen Glover pulled out of the pair as Stanning was one of several who fell ill overnight.
