Isle of Wight rower Annie Caddick could be in with a chance of a medal at the Paralympic Games tomorrow (Sunday).
Annie and rowing partner Sam Murray comfortably won the PR3 mixed double sculls repechage today (Saturday).
All four ParalympicsGB boats are now through to Para Rowing finals at Paris 2024, with the potential to medal.
After the race Annie said: “It was a good race today. We had a clear plan in our minds for how we wanted to execute it, so we went out hard to the 1k and then looked at the field and saw where everyone was and made the decision from there.
"I think we did that well. We improved on yesterday in that we wanted to get out the blocks a bit quicker today, so we’re happy."
Sam said: “It was a little bit harder than we wanted it to be yesterday, so we had a bit more time to work on things today. It was an amazing race to be in with Germany yesterday, but we hope that after today’s run down we’ve shaken some of those nerves out and that will make a difference tomorrow.
“The atmosphere is great, I was really enjoying the warm up this morning as the Red Hot Chilli Peppers were playing, it’s pretty surreal, we’ve never drawn a crowd like this to any of the rowing events we’ve been to and I know that tomorrow is going to probably be double what today is if not more. It’s amazing to be doing this after the time we’ve spent together training, and to have this opportunity to share it with friends and family. “
