World Rowing Championships: Great Britain win silver in men’s and women’s quad sculls

In contrast, the GB men’s quad have had a superb season becoming European champions and winning the World Cup in Lucerne, and they were favourites to add the world title but ultimately, the final was very similar to the women’s race.

The Italy boat of Luca Chiumento, Luca Rambaldi, Andrea Panizza and Giacomo Gentili took the race on with a flying start and they had clear water by 500m, ahead of Great Britain.

Employing similar tactics to the GB women, the men began to move back in the second 1000m but Italy had done enough early on and were able to cross the line well ahead of the pack.

Great Britain took silver, their first medal in this boat class since 2022.

“We came in wanting to win and we knew we could,” said Dafydd.

“Everything went well and we raced our best and unfortunately our best today just wasn’t quite food enough.

“You have to give credit to Italy, they were better than us today and we raced that race again who knows but we did everything we could today.”
