Διπλό ελαφρί γυναικών

Lightweight Women’s Double Sculls (LW2x)

This event is anyone’s guess. A whole new list of combinations will be racing at Munich as coaches test out different crews in their lead up to the all-important World Rowing Championships in August. But keeping with the same line-up is Hester Goodsell and Sophie Hosking of Great Britain. Goodsell and Hosking finished outside of the medals at last year’s World Rowing Championships, but their time in the boat as a partnership must play in their favour at Munich.

A strong challenge is likely to come from under-23 champions Christina Giazitzidou and Triantafyllia Kalampoka of Greece.

In the category of new combinations, check out two top single scullers, Michaela Taupe-Traer and Sara Karlsson. The duo are rowing for Austria. The United States often surprise with new crews that go fast early in the season, so Kristin Hedstrom and Julie Nichols are worth noting. Belgium, China, Germany and Poland could also be medal contenders.
