A third-place finish (06:59.16) for the team of Isobel Clements, Sophia Young, Alison Bergin and Emily Hegarty in the Women’s Quadruple Sculls was also good enough for a place in Thursday’s semis.
There was no such joy for the Men’s Four of Fionnan McQuillan-Tolan, James Doran, Adam Murphy and Jack Dorney as a 06:34.50 finish left them sixth in their heat. They will however feature in the C Final on Thursday.
Elsewhere, the world championships came to an end for the Men’s Quadruple Sculls team of Ryan Spelman, Martin O’Grady, Andrew Sheehan and Konan Pazzaia, as their time of 06:44.42 was not good enough to progress.
