# ROWING: Lisa Dilleen showed her experience to impressive effect as she qualified for the A/B semi-finals of the World Under-23 single scull in Lithuania by placing second in her first race. Two places were on offer from the heat and Rikke Quist of Denmark took a firm hold of first place early and did not let go. Behind her the Daphne Socha of France showed well early in the contest, but Dilleen – who has competed at this level as both a junior and under-23 athlete - passed her with a push after half way and then did enough to repel the charge of Madison Lips of the United States.
