Congratulations
" The St Andrew Boat Club would like to pass on its congratulations
to Lindsay Dick for a magnificent achievement in winning Bronze at
the recent World Championships in the Womens Lightweight 4x.
" We wish her continued rowing success!"
(received 2/9/2006)
The World Championship Regatta at Dorney is the pinnacle of the 2006
rowing season.
FINALLY! this picture of Monday's heat, and a few more
like it are available for perusal and possible purchase
from the nice people at Big
Blade.
Lindsay at 2 and Hester Goodsell at 3. More info welcome.
This is particularly true for GRC's Lindsay Dick, who has achieved
more than any Scottish-based rower has previously done by representing
Great Britain at senior international level this summer
Already this year, Lindsay has competed at the World Cup regattas
in Poznan and Lucerne (she
missed out on Munich when her crew-mate was injured), but competing
in the World Championships takes her to an even higher level.
Lindsay will be rowing in the lightweight women's quadruple scull,
sitting in the '2' seat and making the tactical calls.
As she says, "the crew now has to try and understand a Scottish
accent".
Monday (preliminary heats)
In the heats of the Lightweight women's quadruple sculls, the Chinese
crew set a probably unbeatable standard, winning heat 1 from start
to finish and soundly defeating last year's silver medallists in
the process.

Lucerne.
In heat 2, it was the British crew, with Lindsay in the 2
seat, that set the pace.
They were never headed and beat both the USA and last year's gold
medallists, Canada who will now need to race again in Wednesday's
repechage.
China and GBR go straight to the final of the event on Sunday, as
heat winners.

Wednesday (repechage)
The repechage (rescheduled due to looming storms) saw Portugal trailing
in last, as expected. They are now eliminated from the event.
Denmark won comfortably, from Germany and USA who had their own very
close race over the length of the course. The Danes led by a length
by half way and had more than doubled the margin by the finish.
Less than 1/5 of a second separated the Germans and USA, who took 2nd
place in the heat behind GB on Monday.

Sunday 1:15 - the FINAL
GB were in 4th place at the 1000 metre marker (thank-you to the BBC,
Eurosport and any other useless broadcasting corporation you can
think of).
By this stage, China led the field with clear water over Denmark
and already looked unassailable. The Danes had a full length on Germany,
with only a further few feet advantage on the British
girls, with the US and Canada trailing.
A concerted push through the 3rd 500 by GB put them a full length
in front of Germany with 500 to go, and almost in contact with
Denmark. Meanwhile, the Chinese were going even further ahead.
In the last 500, in front of the roaring grandstands, The GB bow
began to reach up the length of the Danish boat, but not quickly
enough and it was silver for Denmark, with Lindsay and her GB crew
mates collecting bronze.
China's gold medal time of 6:23 was another new world best time,
6 seconds faster than the record which they themselves set in Monday's
heat.
Lindsay's crew improved their heat time by 8 seconds - not bad for
their second race together, and within a second of the previous WB
time!
