Congratulations to Hong Kong sculler Winne Hung Wing Yan who qualified for Tokyo2020 in the Women’s Single Sculls at the recent Asia and Oceania Olympic Qualification Regatta held in Tokyo.
The qualification event brought together 50 crews from 18 countries, racing in four events in challenging conditions. Bad weather saw racing canceled on the first day and all the events were compressed into two days. Racing a semi-final and final just hours apart, Hung snatched the final qualifying place.
“Racing as a lightweight rower in the open-class singles is not easy” Head Coach, Chris Perry commented, “Winne had a tough race to win the B Final and we are delighted that she has achieved a place for Tokyo.”
