Lightweight Women’s Double Sculls (LW2x) – Final

Weronika Deresz (b), Poland, gold
“We are from a cold country, so the rain was ok for us. Yesterday in the preliminary race, we made some mistakes, so today we tried to row smarter. We felt self-confident and comfortable for the sprint, which is usually our strength.”

Katherine Copeland (b), Great Britain, silver 
“It was really hard. We had a bad race yesterday so we had to be more aggressive today. I’m happy that it was better than yesterday, but not so happy about the result.”

Madeleine Arlett (b), Emily Craig (s), Great Britain, bronze
“It was our first race together, so we don’t have much experience. We are hoping to challenge a little more with the other crew, but as it was our first race, that was just a start. We need to build on it for our next race.”
