Lightweight quadruple sculls, women, 2,000 m

What to remember

For the Dutch rowers, the 2014 World Championships were a home event, in Amsterdam. On 29 August 2014, Mirte Kraaijkamp, Elisabeth Woerner, Maaike Head and Ilse Paulis covered the 2,000 m in the lightweight quadruple sculls in 6 min 15.95 s.

In this boat each of the four rowers works an oar in each hand. Kraaijkamp, born in Venray, had won the world title in the same event the year before, in Chungju on 30 August 2013; she then finished third in 2015 at Aiguebelette-le-Lac.

Because weather makes times vary too much, rowing keeps no world records: it lists world best times over 2,000 m.
