2000m of racing intensity at Lucerne Rowing World Cup

The first round of Finals at the Rowing World Cup in Lucerne, Switzerland, heard the enthusiastic Dutch supporters’ spontaneous song, saw Duncan Grant of New Zealand continue on his winning ways, and got just under 100 rowers to sweat it out for 2,000m on the beautiful Rotsee regatta course. As the sun warmed up the temperature, today’s finalists enjoyed flat water, practically no wind and finishing line crowd support.
Lightweight Women’s Single Sculls (LW1x)
These crews had already raced this morning with Denmark and Italy earning the two middle lanes.Jumping out at the start was Greece’s top lightweight woman, Alexandra Tsiavou. Tsiavou is an Under-23 World Champion in this event but has spent recent years in a double and raced at the Beijing Olympics as a double. Tsiavou made easy work of this Final and already had a full boat length lead with just 500m rowed. The Greek kept her rating high and her boat moving swiftly along. Meanwhile a major tussle went on through the middle of the race between Italy, (Laura Milani) and Italy2 (Erika Bello). Bello had more of an advantage and even got quite close to Tsiavou, but ran out of steam in the final sprint. Tsiavou had retained enough energy to charge for the line and finished first. Milani got the better of Bello to take silver.
Results: GRE, ITA1, ITA2, SUI1, GER2, DEN
“It was a very difficult day for us non-Olympic events but I’m extremely happy to have won. I was confident I could. I love Lucerne as a course and town and no matter the weather, I love to race here. I don’t know if I will go on in a double or single in Poznan. There are many reasons for me to want to be in either boat but I don’t know yet what will happen.”
Laura Milani (ITA1) – Silver
“We will see were we go from here. It will be on our coach Josy to decide if we will go into the double.”
Erika Bello (ITA2) – Bronze
“It was a hard but also very good race. The wind was a bit difficult and was stopping me in certain moments. I tried to attack, but Alexandra and Laura were strong.”
