There were two athletes, one coach, one coach developer and one umpire from Scotland who represented GB this weekend at the Coupe de la Jeunesse event hosted in Czechia. The event is an annual international junior event for European rowing federations by invitation.
The Glasgow Academy’s Kloe Hunter came home with an impressive three medals. On Saturday, Kloe secured gold in the JW8+ with her crew taking the lead over Italy before going on to take silver in the JW4+. Kloe gained another silver in the JW8+ on the Sunday.

Aberdeen Schools Rowing Association’s Jemima Aspinall, who was part of the crew that won the Groton School Challenge Cup at Henley Women’s Regatta earlier in the season went on to collect two medals for the JW4-. She and her crew secured the Bronze with the tightest of margins, being only 0.364 seconds ahead of France on the Saturday. They then made the move to gain the advantage over Ireland to take the Silver on the Sunday. With an incredible five medals between them, we could not be prouder of our young athletes and look forward to supporting them further in the future.

Lewis McCue was selected as a coach for the event. He is currently coaching at Dulwich College Boat Club but will soon be returning home to Scotland as the newly appointed Director of Rowing at the University of St Andrews. We wish him the best in his new role.
We were also lucky enough to have some Umpire Representation as Jen Thomson, Chair of the Scottish Rowing Regatta Organising Committee, went along as a GB Umpire to the event, whilst Edinburgh's Doug MacDonald supported the GB Rowing Team in his role as Coach Developer..
It is great to see Scottish representation across three separate disciplines at the one event. Well done to all who were selected!
