This past Sunday alumni George Bourne raced for Great Britain at the World Championships in Racice, Croatia, in the M4x. After qualifying 1st from their heat and second in a tightly contested semifinal, they pushed back on powerful competition from both Italy and the Netherlands to claim a close silver medal, losing out by only 1/3 length to a powerful Polish crew. George graduated from Durham in 2020, and marked his first senior appearance for the GB Team with a medal - it’s a huge achievement, and one that the whole squad is incredibly proud of. We’ll be waiting and watching this space for more great things to come.

Sincerely,

Ollie Gordon-Brown

President of DUBC ’22-’23
