When we asked Martin Cross, Olympic gold medallist, rowing author and broadcaster to put together an Olympic preview for Row360, he told us the best preview would come straight from the mouths of some of the worlds top rowers preparing for Rio. Shortly after Lucerne, Cross caught up with Lisa Schmidla, stroke of the German women’s quadruple scull; Eric Murray, bow of the New Zealand pair; Morten Jørgensen, stroke of the Danish lightweight four; Jess Eddie, ‘5’ in the British women’s eight and Roel Bras, bow of the Dutch men’s pair. Weeks away from their own Olympic fate, this is their take on the action to come.
What events, outside of your own, are you most looking forward to watching in Rio?
