Ruth Walczak selected as part of the GB Rowing Team for the World Championships

Date published: 09 August 2013


Ruth Walczak has been selected as part of the GB Rowing Team for the World Championships in Chungju, Korea later this month.

The eight-day regatta takes place from 25 August to 1 September.

Ruth, from Rochdale, will race in the women’s single scull.

The 24-year-old will be aiming for a medal having fallen just short of a place on the podium at each of this year’s three world cup events, finishing an agonising fourth each time.

The team leaves for Korea next week.
