GB Rowing Team: James Rudkin (Walpole 12)
25 May 2022
Fifty-two rowers from the GB Rowing Team (GBRT) will represent Great Britain at the 2022 World Rowing Cup I in Belgrade, Serbia from 27–29 May, including Old Stoic, James Rudkin (Walpole 12). The squad comprises 10 Paralympic athletes as well as 42 men and women from the senior Olympic squad. James is in the Men’s eight (M8+).
British Rowing Director of Performance Louise Kingsley said: “It’s been some time since we had the men’s, women’s and para crews racing together at an international regatta and I know how excited the full team are to be getting back to competing out on the water.
“Despite the limited racing over the past eight months, we’ve been very busy behind the scenes, bringing in a new structure and new coaching team to help get us in the best possible shape to challenge for medals going forward and to help us evolve us into a contemporary and world-leading programme. World Cup 1 is the first step on our journey to Paris 2024 and will set a good marker for the start of the 2022 season.”
