Two CUBC rowers were among the 42 athletes selected to represent Great Britain at the 2026 World Rowing U23 Championships, returning home with impressive medal hauls.
Patrick Wild (Peterhouse), a member of this year’s victorious Men’s Blue Boat, won gold in the Men’s Eight. The British crew produced a dominant performance, leading from the start to secure Great Britain’s seventh consecutive world title in the event.
Ellie Sillar (Emmanuel), who raced in the winning Blondie crews in both 2025 and 2026, claimed silver in the Women’s Eight. In a fiercely contested final, the British crew finished just behind the USA and ahead of a fast-finishing German crew to secure second place.
Congratulations to Pat and Ellie on these outstanding achievements and for representing both Great Britain and CUBC with distinction on the world stage!
