British Indoor Rowing Championship 2024

8 Dec

The British Indoor Rowing Championship 2024 at NEC, Birmingham was the biggest in its history with over 100 competitors (including competitors from Ireland and Malta) in 57 adaptive events from 24 clubs (a 5 not in clubs). The elephant in the room was once again, Team “We Are Invictus) bringing a record 50 athletes with 80 competition slots.

Invictus and Marlow battled it out for top bragging rights (which Invictus pipped by one win last year), Invictus extended its victory this year with 15 wins and 33 medals overall against Marlow’s 13 wins and 21 medals overall.

British Rowing reported on the Adaptive racing in its piece ““World and British Records smashed at the British Rowing Indoor Championships 2024”:

  • “BRIC 2024 saw the largest-ever entry in Adaptive categories, with 50 athletes representing We Are Invictus. Thirteen British records and one World Record were smashed across adult and junior Adaptive categories. In the Women’s events, Stratford-Upon-Avon Boat Club’s Jess Dowdoswon claimed a World Record in the PR1 Women’s 1 Minute event, covering a distance of 213 metres and beating the current world record holder by 97 metres. Lauren Graham from Seal Personal Training came in second with 133 metres. Other British Championship records included Daniela Cachis in the PR2 Women’s 1 Minute event (183m) and Georgia Carmichael in the PR1 Women’s 2000m – winning in a time of 08:34.8.”
  • In the Open events, Stephen Montague claimed both the win and British record in the PR1 1 Minute event after rowing 261 metres. Fresh off racing in the PR3 Open 2000m, Paralympic Pathway athlete and Invictus rower Ben Gallagher claimed the gold medal and the Championship title in the PR3 Open 1 Minute event. British Records kept tumbling down in the PR2 Open 1 Minute event, where Graham Burns rowed 152 metres.”
  • ·In the Junior Open Adaptive categories, three year 9 students took home both British titles and records. Marlow Rowing Club’s Adam Hussain also made history as new British record-holder after rowing a distance of 793 metres. The club’s record-breaking success was mirrored with PR3 athlete Graham Mcclelland who won the Year 9 Boys PR3 4 Minute event with 867 metres. Records were also claimed in the PR3 Open 2000m event, as Gabriel Phillips took home the British title in 07:20.7. In the Junior Women Adaptive events, Alba Robins earned a new record in PR3 4 Minute event, rowing 447 meters. In the Sixth Form Girls PR3 2000m, new records were also firmly established with Eimear Slee’s time of 8:07.9.”
