Jennings in final of women’s sculls

Limerick rower Sinéad Jennings advanced to the final of the Lightweight Women’s Single Sculls at the World Rowing Championships in Spain yesterday by winning her semi-final in a time of 7min 50.56sec, the second fastest time of the day.

Sinéad started her race slowly in third place behind the Romanian and Finnish scullers at the 1500m but powered through the last 500m with characteristic speed to snatch the win from the Finn, Minna Nieminen.
