Rower Lindsay Jennerich of Victoria picked up her second World Cup medal of 2008 in the lightweight women's single in Poznan, Poland, today.

"The race was fantastic to say the least," said Jennerich. "I sat a boat length down on Sinead Jennings (of Ireland) the whole middle and felt that that was maybe the way it was going to be because I though coming in to this race that she was likely the faster single. But then, at 1500 metres I took a look at her an realized the gap between us hadn't really changed for 1000m which led me to believe she was just trying to hang on so i knew then that if I time a sprint right, I might be able to get her. I waited patiently until the 250 to go knowing that that was where i could pull out some crazy and hold on. i jacked the rate to a 42 and hoped for the best. It worked in my favor but I have now started a great rivalry and have made Sinead hungry for a gold in (at the World Championships) in Linz! I commend her for such a strong race and am thankful for someone who made me raise my game. it's great to have a chance to race someone who leads the whole way so that you are forced to use some brains and strategy."

Jennerich, who won the Lucerne World Cup recently, was first in 7:30.95; Jennings settled for silver in 7:31.59 and Austria's Michaela Taupe-Traer was third in 7:39.36. Earlier today, Jennerich won her semi-final in 7:47.94.

Rowing in the women's double, Janine Hanson of Winnipeg, Man. and Krista Guloien of Port Moody, B.C. advance to the final after finishing second in their rep in 7:06.88 today. The double, typically members of Canada's women's quad, led for most of the race, but was just nipped by the Finish crew that won the rep in 7:06.63. These two crews advance leaving the Belarusians and New Zealand's Evers-Swindell sisters relegated to the B final.

"We did not have a great heat yesterday, so we came ready to go hard this afternoon," said Guloien. "The tailwind was strong, but thankfully we have trained in these conditions a lot. This is my first time racing the double internationally; so far it has been an awesome experience!"

In a practice race for tomorrow's final, the Romanian women's eight won in 6:05.73, followed by Canada's women's eight in 6:08.38; Great Britain in 6:08.53 and Germany (6:17.09) followed. The women's eight just recently qualified for the Olympics and tomorrow will be the Canadian boat's final international race before Beijing.

Canada will be in four finals tomorrow - the lightweight women's double, women's double, women's pair and the women's eight.

Canada's male rowers have taken a pass on this regatta, preferring to train back home.
