August 3, 2012

“It has been fantastic to have 13 boats in finals here. That means 47 rowers in the top six in the world and I am sure that this is the best by far of any nation and the best by far and further for Great Britain.

“It shows the depth of our squad, the quality of our coaching and support team and I am very, very proud of this squad.

“Equally, we are grateful to the lottery for the funding we receive for the squad and to our backers across the four-year period”.
