Last night GB Rowing announced that all GB crews would be pulling out of the Hamburg World Cup (meant to be in 10 days time). There has been a significant outbreak of Ecoli in Germany, originating in the Hamburg region. With one of the symptoms of ecoli being death, it's a serious thing to consider. If anyone caught anything like ecoli, it could very easily end up being the end of their Olympiad.
Plans have been changed and we will look to make just as good a use of our time. I don't know to exact plan yet, but I am assuming Henley Royal will be the next chance to see the men's eight race. It's disappointing not to be racing at this event, but there will plenty of other opportunities ahead.
Without doubt we have one of the best support structures in the sport, and all athletes in the team never have to worry about things like this as the right decision is often made.
