An enormous congratulations to Amalka who took part in the World Rowing Championships this Summer, held in Canada, and secured a silver medal in the U19 Women’s Quadruple Sculls. This is a brilliant achievement and everyone at Tiffin is very proud.
Here is the race overview from worldrowing.com:
“Germany are reigning champions in this boat, but had taken the long route to the final via the repechage. It was Italy and Germany leading the way in the early stages of the race – the gold and silver medallists from last year. Czechia were sitting in third place at 500m. It was unbelievably close between the top three at halfway with less than three quarters of a second separating Italy, Germany and Czechia with Great Britain just outside of the medals. However, 500m to go and Great Britain had moved into the medal zone and were already in silver medal position – they were on the charge, even starting to challenge Italy, who had led all of the way! The Italians were really having to respond to the British sprint. Wow! There was just too much work to do for Great Britain and Italy took the gold. While GB held on to the silver, there was a long delay reviewing the photo finish for the bronze – would it be Germany or Poland? The crowds were waiting… The wait felt like forever, but eventually Germany were confirmed as winning the bronze by 0.002 seconds.
Result: ITA, GBR, GER, POL, CZE, AUS”
