#Rowing: Ireland started the final day of the World Rowing Championships in Bulgaria in winning fashion. Monika Dukarska and Aileen Crowley dominated their C Final, winning by a length from Chile. This places the Ireland crew 13^th in the world.

The strong winds prompted the organisers to redraw the lanes. The water was also visibly choppier than in recent days.
