The rowing rumor mill got cranking hard on Wednesday when US Olympic coxswain Katelin Guregian posted the photo below to Instagram leaking Sir Steve Redgrave's discussions with USRowing about leading the high performance effort in the United States.
Amanda Kraus, CEO of USRowing, confirmed the discussions, sending the following statement this morning:
Redgrave served in a similar position for China for Tokyo 2020; China won one gold and two bronzes in Tokyo, up from two bronzes in 2016 and one silver in 2012.
By all accounts, USRowing's search is still in the early stages, and with many similar positions opening throughout international rowing, opportunities abound for both candidates and governing bodies.
row2k will continue to report on the issue as the search proceeds and a final candidate emerges.
