The Rowsellas will have four boats racing for medals at the Olympic regatta after Tara Rigney (Single Sculls) and the men’s and women’s Eights all progressed to A Finals at the the Vaires-sur-Marne Nautical Stadium.

They join the women’s Pair of Annabelle McIntyre and Jess Morrison in the medal race, with that crew in action on August 2 and the remainder on August 3.

Tara put down another solid row to finish second in her semi in a time of 7:23.58, behind Dutch world champion Karolien Florijn (7.21.26). Olympic champion Emma Twigg from New Zealand won the other semi and ensured all the medal winners from the most-recent World Rowing Championships will be going head-to-head.

“She’s (Florijn) quick at the start, I don’t know how she does it. I am just doing my best to try and keep up with her. I’m stoked to be in an A Final. I’m just hoping for a good race and want to do my best,” Tara said.

“It was a really solid 1500m and I think both of us have another notch to go. The big one is Saturday, so we’ll see what happens.”
