LEANDER athletes had success at last weekend’s two-day GB closed trials held at Dorney Lake.
The Henley-based club had 26 senior and U23 club based athletes from its development squad invited to trial across all four categories in this invitational only event.
The format was slightly different to normal, skipping the traditional semi-final races with crews being placed directly into the finals from time trial results.
First up was the men’s pairs where Leander had two crews racing. Ryan Todhunter and James Vogel placed third in the time trial and achieved fourth place in the A final while Iwan Hadfied and Dan Graham came eighth in the time trial and then won the B final to place as the second fastest U23 pair.

New Delhi: Is Pakistan the safest country for women? One woman definitely thinks so and has no qualms in declaring it on social media. The glitch? The Twitter account was fake and was using images of a Polish blogger.
The Twitter account, allegedly being used by a ‘white’ woman named Katherine George, created a furore on social media in Pakistan Wednesday, after it was found that it was fake and was using images of Polish travel blogger, Aleks Mroz, to applaud Pakistan’s treatment of women.
The fake account had been created in February and has almost 12,000 followers. It has been regularly promoting Pakistan as among “the best tourist destinations in the world”.
