Mitchell Finishes Fourth in World Rowing Quarter-Finals

22nd July 2011

Ireland’s Jonathan Mitchell missed out on a place in the A/B semi-finals after a fourth-place finish in the quarter-finals of the lightweight single scull at the World Under-23 Championships in Amsterdam. The Queen’s University man needed to finish in one of the first three positions, but the United States, Greece and Peru had firmly established themselves in a stretched-out 1-2-3 formation by halfway, with Mitchell further back in fourth. It stayed this way to the finish.
