Matthew Tarrant, James Rudkin, Ollie Wynne-Griffith, Tom George and cox Henry Fieldman won bronze medals in the men’s eight in Plovdiv last Sunday, while James Johnston took bronze in the men’s four the previous day. Ollie Cook finished eighth in the men’s pair with Matt Rossiter.

Athletes will take part in indoor rowing sprint races on Friday night, followed by on-water sprints on Saturday evening. On Sunday afternoon the four nations will race over a 12.75km course along the Kiel Canal.
