Pritchard selects his dream Welsh mixed eight
Current Paralympic and European rowing champion Benjamin Pritchard has put together his dream Welsh mixed coxed eight boat.
A host of Welsh sporting legends have made the cut for his dream crew.
The Mixed Eight is a brand-new event created by World Rowing to promote gender equality and bring more excitement to the sport.
It sees eight rowers — four men and four women — racing together in one boat.
The event will make its first appearance at the 2025 World Rowing Championships in Shanghai and will feature regularly at World Championships and World Cups in future seasons.
There are also discussions about adding it to the Olympic programme, potentially in time for the 2028 Los Angeles Games.
Pritchard's crew boasts plenty of experience, speed and power.
