IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Three Canadians are set to sprint and row their way to the finish line in Oeiras, Portugal at the 2021 World Rowing Beach Sprint Finals taking place September 24 to 26, 2021.

Brienne Miller (North Star Rowing Club), Aubrey Oldham (Leander Boat Club) and Sarah Pidgen (Don Rowing Club) were selected to represent Canada at the second edition of this international event through the RCA Beach Sprint Trials, which took place this August.
