Rowing World Cup - 2008 - Munich Highlights

Highlights from Munich where the first of the season's three Rowing World Cup regattas is taking place. Great Britain won the overall trophy for the first time last year, breaking Germany's stranglehold on the 10-year-old event. Team GB went on to enjoy a successful World Championships - also in Munich - and hopes are now high for a decent haul of medals at this summer's Olympics in China. However, injury and illness blighted the GB selection trials in March and the Munich regatta will be a much-needed opportunity for head coach Jurgen Grobler to assess the progress of his squad. Garry Herbert and Dan Topolski provide the commentary with Britain's most successful Olympian Sir Steve Redgrave offering his expert analysis.
