Women’s Pair (W2-) – Heats

by FISA on 21 Aug 2006 Two heats, two boats to go directly to the final. Heat one featured first and second from the final Rowing World Cup the winners, United States and silver medallists Nicole Zimmermann and Elke Hipler of Germany. Today Zimmermann and Hipler took the lead with the United States back in third. Meanwhile, sitting solidly in second, reigning World Champions Nicky Coles and Juliette Haigh of New Zealand showed that they had stepped up on early season average results. The order did not change throughout the race with the Germans advancing to the final.

The second heat saw Canada’s Darcy Marquardt and Jane Rumball take the lead and pull out to a boat's length over China in second with Australia just a tad back in third. Marquardt and Rumball kept their rating in the mid 30s to move further away from China. This left Australia and China to challenge each other. The two-way tussle had no impact on the Canadians and Marquardt and Rumball move on to the final.
