Gary O'Donovan Stops and Misses Out on First Chance of Qualification Place at World Championships
#Rowing: The two Ireland lightweight single scullers missed out on qualification from their heats at the World Rowing Championships – but in different fashions. Lydia Heaphy held the second and final qualification spot for the semi-final through much of her race only to be caught coming up to the line by Martine Veldhuis of the Netherlands. Heaphy missed out by just .3 of a second in a race won by Marie-Louise Draeger of Germany.
Gary O’Donovan was in fifth place in his heat of the lightweight single at 1,000 metres and seemed in striking distance of a top-three place which would have sent him to the quarter-finals. However, he stopped and then paddled home fourth. He will have to come through a repechage to secure a place in the quarter-finals.
