Teams prepare for world championships in September
The Island-based Canadian rowing team is careful not to let the bucolic English summer in Henley-on-Thames, with some of the Royal Regatta spectators in straw-boater hats and partaking of strawberry and cream desserts, lull them into complacency.
“The ultimate goal of the season is to qualify the boat for the Olympics at the world champs, so, for now, we need to use these races to steadily improve and build into September, to be ready to do that,” Shannon Kennedy, of the Canadian women’s quad, said in a statement.“Henley Royal has always been a bucket-list regatta for me. We were supposed to do it the summer of 2020, but then COVID hit, so it’s quite exciting to have the opportunity this year.
