European Rowing Championships 2017: Great Britain name strong squad

Karen Bennett and Holly Norton won gold in the women's pair for Britain in Belgrade last weekend

Great Britain will take a strong team, that includes the four crews who won World Cup gold last weekend, to the European Championships later in May.

The men's four, men's and women's pair and lightweight men's double sculls who triumphed in Serbia will return in Racice, Czech Republic, from 26-28 May.

A total of 50 rowers make up the squad.

"We're excited to be moving on to challenge the best crews in Europe," said British Rowing performance director Sir David Tanner.

"We have a good record in recent European Rowing Championships and I'm confident that the athletes selected will continue this tradition."

Karen Bennett and Holly Norton won the women's pair while Jacob Dawson and Matthew Rossiter triumphed in the men's pair at the first World Cup of the season in Belgrade last weekend.

Peter Chambers and Will Fletcher won the men's double sculls, while Callum McBrierty, Matthew Tarrant, Mohamed Sbihi and William Satch were victorious in the men's four.

In total Britain secured 11 medals, including three silvers and four bronzes.
