The crews pulled out all of the stops in today's A Finals and were rewarded with three podiums out of the four boats. The lightweight men's double were extremely unlucky, catching a last minute crab to drop them out of the medals.

Brian Colsh and Konan Pazzaia are the 2023 U23 World Champions in the men's double sculls. Last year this duo won bronze and have successfully made the upgrade to gold today. Colsh and Pazzaia went out fast taking an early lead ahead of the field. Once their bow was ahead there was no stopping the duo as they charged to the line, consistently sitting as the fastest boat on the water.
