Coastal rower Natacha Searson is targeting a place at the 2028 Olympic Games.

The 22-year-old from Jersey has been called up to the Great Britain coastal rowing team for the World Beach Sprint Finals in Turkey next week.

Beach sprint rowing will make its Olympic debut in Los Angeles in three years time.

The sport sees rowers sprinting from the beach to their boat before rowing out to a buoy, returning to the beach and then sprinting over the finish line.

Searson, who is teaming up with Cameron Buchan in the mixed doubles, hopes she can keep her place and become the first person from Jersey to compete at an Olympic Games since 2000.

“There’s a mixed doubles and a single for both genders in LA, so that would be great if I could keep getting into the team each year,” Searson told BBC Radio Jersey.

“That would be amazing.

“I think it’s a very fun and dynamic sport to watch for rowers and for non-rowers, so hopefully it’ll be a hit in LA.”
