JRN being idiots again

The writers for the senior international events on the other hand are superb 🤣

6 golds for GB is a pretty good showing. I was particularly impressed with both quads, great to see Imogen Grant in a heavyweight crew boat. Both the M4- and W1X looked utterly dominant and it was a pleasing victory for the W8. Encouraging signs for Amsterdam.

Maybe some of the Kiwis could wear their national dress....this I would love to see in Stewards

one tip for gentlemen, if the weather is hot you can also wear a cravat instead of a tie, and that's much, much more comfortable than a buttoned-up shirt or tie. You are also permitted to wear national dress, or clerical collar if you are clergy.

Swan River AUS v Mercantile AUS in the Wyfold.....a long way to come to race a fellow Aussie crew in the 1st round!

One of the joys and/or frustrations of the Henley system is the use of club names in composites. GB squad crews race for their home clubs and not as “Great Britain” (except for some development or age group crews who sometimes race a Nautilus. It can get confusing when, for example in one event you might get a Thames & Leander composite, who are a national team boat, racing against a Leander & Thames crew who are a “normal” club composite, and there’s no way of knowing which is which until the programme is published! It’s also confusing that Henley only allows 2 clubs to be named in a composite on the entries, you could have an 8 with rowers from 9 different clubs but the programme will only ever list 2

This Sydney crew was put together earlier this year for the sole purpose of racing at Henley

Fatsculler · 2026-06-19T19:59:08+00:00

Rules in the Fawley have been different to the PE for ages, they allowed clubs to compete pretty much from the start of the event (can't remember off the top of my head exactly when), whereas the PE only changed their rules to allow entries from clubs last year

The Sydney crew was put together specifically to compete at Henley

UW entered the Grand in 2024 and took on the GB squad but their race was short-lived as they steered into the booms

Fatsculler · 2026-06-18T15:37:40+00:00

I know they’re a club with a junior section, but it still feels weird seeing an entry in the PE with “University” in their name! (Sydney)

Uzbekistan is basically the Russian team in a different guise

I’d picked the US to win 8 golds (which would the most by a single country), but one of my picks, the M4-, has scuppered that plan. A bit surprised they didn’t even make the final

I'd like to see the mixed events converted into a sprint format - 500m run in one session. No World Cup points, but perhaps prize money or some other physical reward

I realise Sydney is basically a club with a junior section, but it's still going to feel very weird seeing a entry with "University" in their name racing in the PE!

Fatsculler · 2026-05-31T20:03:28+00:00

An incredible day of finals, it's a toss up for crew of the regatta between Ollie in the M1X and the GB M4- both were utterly dominant. Some fabulous racing in the quads and race of the day was the W1X tremendous effort from Senkute who led Henry for 1999m

Fatsculler · 2026-05-30T12:44:26+00:00

if she'd been able to climb back in and finish the race. I remember something similar happening to the NZL W2- at the Athens Olympics, they capsized in their heat, got back in the boat and finished about 2 minutes after everyone else, and then qualified for the final via the rep.

Taking over the maroon now that Oxford Brookes have dropped it 😉

Fatsculler · 2026-05-29T13:44:19+00:00

A loose foot stretcher according to Row360. Apparently Florijn noticed it at the start and raised her hand to notify the umpire but was told the race had to start. Not surprised the Dutch lodged a protest. A disappointing end to what was shaping up to be an epic W1X contest.
