Tom Aggar celebrates victory
WorldRowing.Com describes the victory: ‘Paralympic champion, Tom Aggar of Great Britain must have been taking it relatively easy when he raced for lanes yesterday. Although Aggar won, he did not dominate. Today Aggar broke away from the rest of the field by the half way point and proceeded to widen the gap as he stormed towards the finish line. Perhaps the surprise second place was adaptive newcomer, Andrew Houghton of Great Britain. Houghton, 28, is racing for the first time internationally and finished in second ahead of Andrii Kryvchun of Ukraine. In yesterday’s race for lanes Kryvchun had beaten Houghton, but today the better finish by Houghton gave him the silver medal place. Kryvchun is also new to adaptive rowing and has made a positive start to his first season.’
In all the GB squad dominated the event and brought home 3 gold and a silver medal. See WorldRowing.Com for pictures and further stories.
