World Rowing Cup: Lauren Henry MBE among Great Britain gold medallists in Varese, Italy

Olympic champion Lauren Henry MBE was among the winners for Great Britain as they claimed three gold medals on the final day of the World Rowing Cup in Varese, Italy.

Henry was impressive in the women’s single sculls, finishing more than eight seconds clear of Germany’s Juliane Faralisch and China’s Ruiqi Li, who took silver and bronze respectively.

“I’m really pleased with the race,” said the 23-year-old, who was part of the successful quadruple sculls team in the Paris Games.

“I kept it lively, there’s some bits that I still want to work on to see how I can push on, but there’s certainly more to come.

“The single is a very physical race, but it’s the same for everyone, so you just have to try and keep yourself as cool as you can.”
