The GB Rowing Team won gold at the World Championships in Korea this week when Pamela Relph, Naomi Riches, Oliver Hester, James Fox and cox Oliver James won the para-rowing mixed coxed four event (LTAMix4+).

Their time of 3:16.12 was just shy of the World Best Time of 3:15.91 set at Eton Dorney at the Paralympic Games last year.

“This one is very special because I feel for the first time we set a race plan and executed it so well,” said Riches afterwards. “It’s the first time in all those years that I feel that we did everything 100%”.

Fellow teammate Pamela Relph added, “Today we had a really good race. We set off with the idea that we were going to be super-relaxed and not let what anyone else did faze us.”
