Lagbytte i herrer 4x i VM

På grunn av sykdom vil Mathias F. Wie (Bergens rk) gå inn for Erling Øyasæter (Os rk) i herrer 4x.

Erling har slitt med lett forkjølelse de siste par dagene og laget med trener har dermed bestemt seg for å benytte Mathias som reserve inn på båten i forsøksløpet. Bye-Law 2.a. til Rule 48 i World Rowing rules of racing åpner for at et lag kan sette inn en reserve i regattaen hvis sykdom. Dersom den aktuelle roeren blir frisk i løpet av regattaen kan den oppsinnelige påmeldte roeren likevel ro senere løp i regattaen. Dette skal godkjennes av regattalege.

Herrer 4x ror sitt første løp i VM mandag 19 september kl 12.47.
