Whilst Scotland’s leading rowers on the GB Rowing Team prepare for the rescheduled Tokyo Olympics this summer, closer to home the next generation of talented athletes have been training hard towards their own long-term goals as part of the Scottish Rowing Performance Programme.

Since October, the twelve athletes who make up this season’s Scottish Rowing Performance Programme contingent have been training in person, as per Scottish Government rules allowing for the continuation of performance and professional sport. Under this special dispensation, the athletes have been able to travel to and from training and have had access to indoor and outdoor facilities at approved venues.

We are pleased to advise that sportscotland has recently approved an addendum to the Scottish Rowing Return to Performance Training plan which enables a further 18 rowers from across Scotland to train under the Scottish Government’s dispensation for professional and performance sport.

These athletes have all achieved the relevant standards as outlined by the GB Rowing Team and they have been allowed to return to training to support their preparations for upcoming trials and assessments as they aim for selection to international teams this summer.

This March Jo is walking 10,000 steps per day throughout the month to help beat cancer - and the rest of the staff team are joining her!

The last 12 months have been difficult for everyone but for Jo Pinder, Scottish Rowing’s Membership Services Administrator, the challenges have been very different. It started with the discovery of a dangerously enlarged spleen during a holiday of a lifetime trip to New Zealand in January 2020 - just as the world was hearing of a new virus coming out of China. This abruptly ended the tour and further investigations back in the UK led to a diagnosis of Splenic Marginal Zone Lymphoma, a rare form of blood cancer.
