Another Olympic rower said that athletes continue to climb the podium “despite” the national organization. She questioned why coach Michelle Darvill wasn’t retained after guiding the women’s eight to Olympic gold. In 2021, Darvill was named both the Canadian coach of the year for all sports, by the Coaching Association of Canada and world rowing coach of the year.

“She didn’t have a job the day after we won the Olympics,” she said. “Rowing Canada ended her contract the day after we won the Olympics, she was on a plane with us, no longer an employee of Rowing Canada.”

Darvill is now the head coach of the Dutch women’s team, which won seven medals at the recent world championships in the Czech Republic.

Rowing Canada has been a mess for at least a decade if my memory serves me right.

So, when is the whole leadership of Rowing Canada going to be replaced? The results at worlds were absolutely dire.

It's been like this for a decade now, they rule with an iron fist, quashing any dissident.
