The 2014 season is well underway for the Polish women's double sculls of Magdalena Fularczyk and Natalia Madaj. They already have a European Championship title and two World Rowing Cup medals and it is still June.
2014 World Rowing Cup II, Aiguebelette (FRA)
Picture clear blue waters surrounded by wooded hills and you have a taste of Lake Aiguebelette. This is the setting of World Rowing Cup II in Aiguebelette, France. Over the past three days of racing the best rowers in the world have been enjoying positive racing conditions and warm weather for the initial rounds. Today was the business end of the regatta with World Cup points and medals at stake.
The four blue riband events ended up following a pattern of New Zealand winning both the men's and women's single sculls with the United States taking out the big boat end by winning the men's and women's eight.
The early evening setting on Lake Aiguebelette made for a perfect backdrop for the para-rowing finals at the 2014 World Rowing Cup in Aiguebelette, France. Starting at the 1000m mark, the five boat classes raced over the remaining 1000m to an appreciative crowd at the finish line.
