A Cumbrian rowing club has won three medals at the World Rowing Virtual Indoor Championships.
Lakeland Rowing Club’s Celia Whittam, Samantha Ayers and Nick Cowan were among the rowers representing Great Britain in the championships, contested online this week, racing in real-time against competitors on rowing machines in homes and gyms across the world.
The trio qualified for the worlds after picking up medals at Decemberâs British Rowing Indoor Championships (BRIC).
Celia, from Troutbeck, took silver in the womenâs age 60+ 500m category in 1 min 48.7 seconds, almost two seconds faster than her time to win the same medal at BRIC.
