It is not only the juniors from London Youth Rowing who get to go and compete in races, the coaches do too! One of our coaches, Steve Salter, had a great weekend at the British Rowing Championships on the 18th July, competing for his club, London Rowing Club. Steve competed in 3 events, the Open 8, Open Lightweight Coxless 4 and the Open Lightweight Pair and managed to walk away as the British Champion in all 3 events. The most important of these events by far was the pairs race, in which Steve and his partner managed to overhaul the crew who had been leading for all of the race in the last 50 metres to win the race by 0.56 seconds, the importance of this win was that it means that Steve and his partner have been selected to represent England in the Home International Regatta in Cork, Ireland on the 24th July.
