Mahe Drysdale - 2014 World Rowing Championships, Amsterdam, The Netherlands Igor Meijer/FISA http://www.fisa.org
Former Olympic Champion single sculler, Mahe Drysdale, reports on his recent performance at the Rowing World Championships held at The Netherlands

 
 
 
 
Another season has come to a close and personally it was a little bitter sweet. The team though had a fantastic year topping the medal table at the World Champs, two world cups and the Under 23 championships. Its now a few easy weeks before we gear up for another season at the end of the month.

Below you will see my thoughts on Amsterdam.
