Twelve from fourteen of GB’s Olympic class boats won their opening time trial. Nine of the winners will now race semi-finals tomorrow whilst Zac Purchase and Mark Hunter face a quarter-final – such is the depth of entry in their event – and the men’s eight and men’s quadruple scull have a further heat later today.ADVERT Kat Copeland in the lightweight women’s single has also progressed to the semi-finals after taking second place in this international class event. The boats that did not progress have repechages or further preliminary heats this afternoon and evening. “The aim today was to use the time trial solely as a means to get as many crews through to semi-finals as possible and by that measure we’ve had very successful morning”, said GB Rowing Team Performance Director, David Tanner. “Now let’s see what happens”. FISA, the sport’s world governing body, decided to switch to time-trials from the more normal side-by-side six-lane racing to open the world cup here as a one-off as a contingency against weather conditions at future major events. Katherine Grainger and Mel Wilson, despite racing here as a scratch pairing with world champion Anna Watkins out injured, were fastest in qualifying in the women’s double scull. So, too, were the British men’s pair of Andrew Triggs Hodge and Pete Reed. The British boats that made progress today now join Paralympic and world champion Tom Aggar who qualified yesterday for tomorrow’s semi-final of the adaptive single scull and the two British mixed adaptive coxed fours who are safely into Saturday’s finals. This means that the racing programme later today for Britain now includes a quarter-final in the lightweight men’s double scull, repechages of the lightweight men’s four, the women’s single scull and the mixed adaptive double scull as well as heats for the men’s eight, women’s quadruple scull and lightweight men’s pair. *SIEMENS is the high performance partner of the GB Rowing Team(as such they sponsor all the Olympic and Paralympic Classboats in the senior squad and add value to the GB RowingTeams’ Start and High Performance Programme in Clubs Schemes) SCROLL DOWN FOR MORE=============================== ===============================RESULTS(heats featuring GB Rowing Team crews only – fullresults at www.worldrowing.com) HEATS – conducted as a time trial OPEN WOMEN Pair 1.
