It was not the end Abbey Maillet had hoped for.
Maillet had a successful first season with the LU rowing team in 2019-2020. She finished 5
th at the OUA Championships for lightweight singles.
This February, she went on to win gold in the 2021 Canadian Indoor Rowing Championships in the U23 2000m Women’s Lightweight race. With this victory, the second-year rowing athlete had qualified for the 2021 World Rowing Indoor Championships, which were held virtually last week.
Unfortunately, Maillet recently suffered a wrist injury that kept her from competing in the competition.

Abbey Maillet, a second-year Sports Education and Concurrent Education student, has qualified for the 2021 World Rowing Indoor Championships after winning gold at the Canadian Indoor Rowing competition earlier this month.
“It was really great to race for Laurentian again and to test my ability. It’s been a year since I’ve last competed so it was definitely a great experience,” she said.
Maillet said the competition is normally held in Mississauga but due to the pandemic, it was held virtually this year.
Maillet, who has been rowing for six years, began her journey with her high school’s rowing team in Hamilton.
