World Cup rowing: Hannah Scott and Lola Anderson second for Team GB in Seville

Advertisements

Olympic champions Hannah Scott and Lola Anderson, along with Finnola Stratton and Sarah McKay, finished second in the women’s quadruple sculls at the first World Cup of the season in Seville.

The Great Britain quartet were narrowly beaten by Germany but held of the fast finishing Romania boat for silver as a single second separated all three crews.

It was a positive start to the season for the new line up that saw Stratton, whose mum’s family are from Cullybackey in County Antrim, make her senior international debut.

Scott and Anderson are Olympic champions from Paris and with McKay won silver at last year’s World Championships.

After a slow start, the quartet had a strong middle 1000m to move through the field and into second place.

However, at this early stage of the season, they could not quite see out the sprint and Germany, rowing with a much higher stroke rate, held on to win.

The ultimate goal for this season will be the World Championships in Amsterdam in August.
