Irish rower won the third of four heats comfortably, going straight into Friday’s semi-finals
After twice being delayed due to adverse weather, Siobhán McCrohan got the defence of her World Rowing Championships lightweight single sculls title under way in impressive style at the Royal Canadian Henley course in St Catharines, Canada.
The 37-year-old from Galway, who took almost a decade away from elite rowing before returning to win the world title in Belgrade last September, finished in 8:23.03, over five seconds clear of Mexico’s Kenia Lechuga Alanis, who was the early leader at the 500m mark. With the Paris Olympic Games having only just concluded, and the Paralympic Games already in sight, this event is for the non-Olympic and non-Paralympic boat classes, of which six are being contested, and combined along with the World Under-23 and Under-19 Championships.
