VERSA CHAMPION - 2024 World Rowing Indoor Championships - Women
  • 2 months ago
Have a look at the last Versa Challenge race at day 2 of the 2024 World Rowing Indoor Championships presented by Concept2.

There was little to split the athletes at the start of the women's Chase race before Elizabeth Gilmore began to pull away from Charlotte Dixon. Dixon in turn was holding steady ahead of Morgan McGrath, who maintained her third place. Anna Muehle was on the chase and had caught Jessica Eddie after little more than two minutes, but Eddie was not letting Muehle escape.

As the athletes approached halfway McGrath was beginning to catch Dixon, but Gilmore's victory looked assured. With 500m to go, Eddie had regained fourth place and was putting the pressure on Dixon and McGrath - there were only metres separating the three, with Muehle not out of the picture either in the race for the medals.

In the final sprint, Dixon pulled away, and Eddie moved into third place. Dixon beat Eddie by 0.4 seconds, putting both British women on the podium - and a superb showing from wild card Eddie. McGrath is fourth.
