The pandemic spurred a boost in indoor rowing (you couldn’t find a rowing machine for love nor money) as well as online/remote competitions. The National Junior Indoor Rowing Championships went virtual last year and, despite the lockdown relaxation, decided to remain so one more year. The event is the biggest adaptive rowing event in the UK traditionally drawing over 100 competitors. This year more than double than competed over the 5 day period with 270 SEND entries.
SEND powerhouse schools Mayesbrook (3 medals), Stormont (3 medals) and Drummbeat (1 medal) all entered major contingents of athletes. But boat clubs, The Gorse and Marlow, both snared 3 medals as well.
