Ireland’s Sanita Puspure pipped for bronze at World Rowing Championships

Ireland’s Sanita Puspure came within a fraction of a second of claiming bronze in the women’s single sculls final at the World Rowing Championships in Sarasota, Florida, yesterday.

Puspure, who represented Ireland in the London and Rio Olympics, missed out on the podium by 0.35 seconds.

Conditions had changed significantly since her races last week, with the water visibly rougher than in the heats, repechage and semi-final.
