Last-chance qualifier goes May 19-21 in Switzerland
The Canadian rowing team, based on Quamichan Lake in North Cowichan, has so far qualified only two crews for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. That fact hangs over the once-mighty program as it named its roster Monday for the last-chance Olympic qualifying regatta May 19-21 in Lucerne, Switzerland.
The boat needed something extra, a jolt, and it is thought Filmer can provide that. She has raced previously in the eight for the UVic Vikes and for Canada in the 2016 Rio Olympics. And she is an Olympic medallist, an accomplishment that can’t be ignored. The other new crew members in the eight with Olympic experience are Kristina Walker and Jessica Sevick of Victoria while Abby Dent steps up from the 2023 Santiago Pan Am Games gold-medallist eight and Maya Meschkuleit from Yale of the Ivy League.
