Members of Keswick-based Lakeland Rowing Club won medals in four categories at British Rowingâs annual Indoor Championships held earlier this month.
More than 1,800 rowers from 42 countries took part in the event, which was contested online due to COVID-19, racing side-by-side in real time on rowing machines in homes and gyms around the world.
Seven Lakeland members entered, and thanks to their results, the medallists have all qualified for the 2021 World Indoor Rowing Championships, to be held online in February.
Samantha Ayers tied for gold in the womenâs lightweight age 50-54 500m race, finishing in 1 minute 44.7 seconds, a dead heat with a competitor from Germany.
