Rowing World Cup - 2008 - Lucerne Highlights

Logo for Rowing World Cup - 2008 - Lucerne Highlights

Highlights of the second of the season's three Rowing World Cup regattas, which is taking place in Lucerne. With the Beijing Olympics just a couple of months away, the teams will be fine-tuning their crews and gearing up their preparations for Beijing. GB's flagship coxless four, who are aiming for a third consecutive Olympic gold, will be hoping for a smoother build-up to Lucerne than they had to the first World Cup regatta in Munich last month, when a back injury forced out newest recruit Tom James. The British squad have happy memories of Lucerne, however, having clinched their first-ever World Cup trophy at the Swiss lake last July. Commentary from Garry Herbert and Dan Topolski, with analysis from Sir Steve Redgrave.
