Rowing: Helen Glover and Polly Swann reunite for European Championships

May 14, 2024

Olympic champion Helen Glover will renew her partnership with Polly Swann after being selected for the inaugural European rowing Championships in Belgrade.

Glover had been rowing with her Olympic champion partner Heather Stanning in the coxless pairs, but Stanning has been forced to withdraw due to medical advice.

As a result, Swann, who won world gold with Glover, returns to the pair - the team’s top women’s boat - for the regatta in Serbia.

British rowing performance director David Tanner said: ”We are in an enviable position with our open women’s squad.

“Helen, Heather and Polly are a strong triumvirate for the women’s pair seats and it was always a tough call to make.”

The European Championships will take place on the 28th May-1st June.
