What to remember
It did not take a final: Britain's Emily Craig and Imogen Grant rowed the lightweight double sculls in 6 min 40.47 s in a semi-final of the second World Cup regatta in Varese, Italy, on June 17, 2023.
In this boat each of the two rowers holds two oars, one in each hand, so the forces are applied evenly on both sides of a long, narrow hull designed to cut drag. Emily Craig has won a lightweight Olympic title and three world titles.
Weather affects rowing times so much that the sport has no world records. World best times like this one are rowed over 2,000 m, the yardstick of international racing.
