Griškonis saves the rowing championships for Lithuania Not really sure if our women are capable of medalling in 30 minutes, I wouldn't bet on it.

We have a new Italian high-performace director Antonio Muarogiovanni, and he is making a big difference it seems

yeah, I know that many Italian coaches are doing the fortune of many foreign teams (and not only in Rowing)...

I don't know if I have to be proud of that or if I have to be sad about all these resources gone away from our sport system...

I understand. But be happy for us ...... if I tell you, yesterday was Ireland's first ever gold in an Olympic category at the rowing world championships, and less than 24 hours later, we got a second. So this is uncharted water for us (pun intended )

and France get the Gold medal in the men's double sculls...New Zealand beaten also by Switzerland for Silver and Bronze...

luckily, I didn't take part in the prediction contest...I wouldn't have got a single gold medallist from  today's action so far...
