VOTW: World Cup Racing Set for Sydney, Australia in 2013 and 2014



The 2013 and 2014 summer racing seasons will feature action in the Southern Hemisphere, on the international regatta course in Sydney. As the video explains, a invitation will be extended to all medalists at the London Games for a subsidized trip to the first World Cup of 2013, set to take place in March as part of an expanded 'Sydney International Regatta Festival.' In addition to a great deal of footage from the 2011 World Rowing Championships in Bled, there's also an appearance from Drew Ginn, as well as a number of shots of the venue in Sydney. With Australia coming off its most successful World Championships to date, the Aussie team will look to continue to build momentum through London, bringing elite, international competition to Australia for the first time since the Sydney Olympics. For more information see the official website of the event at rowingdownunder.org.

Coverage of the USRowing Annual Convention, which featured presentations by Mike Teti, Tim McLaren, Liz Trond, Kevin Sauer, Tom Bohrer, Harry Parker, and many others, upcoming on RowingNews.com.
