Rowing: Helen Glover and Polly Swann win gold

June 24, 2024

Olympic champion Helen Glover and her Great Britain team-mate Polly Swann took gold in the women’s pair at the World Rowing Cup at Eton Dorney this weekend.

Following their debut win together at the Sydney World Cup in March, Glover, back at the scene of her London 2012 victory, and Swann fought off a late challenge from New Zealand to win by a length, with Germany third.

“It’s amazing being back here. Eton Dorney is the place to be for rowing right now,” said Glover.

Last summer, Glover and Heather Stanning became the first British female rowers to win an Olympic title by clinching their country’s first gold of the London 2012 Games.

Elsewhere, Victoria Meyer-Laker and Frances Houghton also won the gold medal in the women’s double scull, with Kathryn Twyman and Imogen Walsh taking silver in the women’s lightweight doubles.
