McIntyre and Morrison set to fly after Rowsellas take off

Australia’s champion women’s pairs crew of Annabelle McIntyre and Jess Morrison will take off on their Olympic Games journey in the third of three heats on Sunday 28 July.

Annabelle and Jess, silver medallists at the 2023 and 2022 World Championships, have drawn lane one for their heat at the Vaire-sur-Marne Nautical Stadium, east of Paris.

The two Rowsellas, both members of the Tokyo 2020 gold medal winning four, are strong favourites to win given their pedigree and the rankings of the other crews in their heat.

The first three finishers will qualify for the A/B semi-final with the rest to race the repechage. From Greece, Spain and China, the Greeks should prove to be their strongest challengers.
