Norwegian Rowers to D-Final After Tough Quarterfinal

Norwegian rowers Ulrik Pharo Lohne and Fredrik Reite will compete in the D-final after finishing last in their quarterfinal at the World Rowing Championships in Amsterdam.

The Norwegian duo in double sculls finished with a time of 7:10.39 in their quarterfinal, which was not fast enough to advance to the C-final. The Czech winners of their heat, Jakub Podrazil and Dalibor Nedela, completed the 2000-meter course in 6:44.74. mchezo.co.za
