Siobhan McCrohan qualified for the final of the lightweight single scull at the World Cup rowing regatta at Lucerne in Switzerland by taking second in her semi-final. The goal of a top three place was annexed early and not yielded up: she was in second behind Pamela Weisshaupt, the world champion in 2008 and 2009 all the way down the course. Jo Hammond, a Briton who now rows for Belgium, took third.
