Mattick and Bateman Switch Boats for Lucerne World Cup
21st May 20122010 World Champion Paul Mattick from Frome will enjoy a return to the lightweight men’s four as a replacement for the injured Peter Chambers at the season’s second world cup in Lucerne, Switzerland, from May 25-27.
The switch means that Windsor’s Adam Freeman Pask will now race in a lightweight single scull and the GB Rowing Team has withdrawn its entry in the lightweight men’s pair which was to have been raced by Freeman-Pask and Mattick.
2010 World double scull silver medalist Marcus Bateman, who came through the Siemens-sponsored START programme in Bath, will also have a new role at the weekend.
The University of Bath graduate will not race in the men’s single scull but will race instead in the men’s eight in lieu of Londoner Constantine Louloudis who is still recovering from an injury.
Yorkshire’s twice Olympic silver medalist Debbie Flood, from Guiseley, is back in the Siemens-sponsored GB Rowing Team for the first time this year.
She will race in the women’s eight as a replacement for the injured Lindsey Maguire from Edinburgh.
