Coxless pair, women, 2,000 m

What to remember

Australians Annabelle McIntyre and Jessica Morrison covered 2,000 m in a coxless pair in 6 min 47.11 s on 24 June 2023, in the final of the Holland Beker Regatta in Amsterdam.

Rowing has no world records, because weather makes times vary too much, only world best times over the international distance of 2,000 m. In a coxless pair each rower holds a single oar on one side of the boat, and the two coordinate steering between themselves.

McIntyre is an Olympic champion. At the Tokyo Games she doubled up in the coxless pair and the coxless four, and it was in the four, which she stroked, that she won gold. She had earlier taken medals at the 2018 and 2019 World Rowing Championships.
