World Cup Rowing

The 2007 World Cup gets underway in Linz, Austria, with Great Britain looking to find early form as the countdown to next year's Olympics gathers pace. Andy Hodge, Peter Reed, Steve Williams and Alex Partridge return in the men's coxless fours, having won gold at last year's World Championships. And there are strong medal hopes for Britain's leading women's crew, the world championship-winning quadruple scull, with Annie Vernon joining Katherine Grainger, Fran Houghton and Debbie Flood. Garry Herbert And Dan Topolski are the commentators.
