The first day of the World Rowing Indoor Championships (WRICH) at the Paramount Fine Foods Centre in Mississauga, Ont., was full of world records and historic moments, with many more expected on day two.
Afterwards Kingswood said, "I do it for my children and my grandchildren. I'm not a grandmother that does crafts with the kids or bakes cookies." Kingswood just gets on an indoor machine and goes to the gym almost every day, even if some people are surprised. "People say wow, I couldn't do that.
But you can if you want to [do so]." There were four other world records set on Saturday including in the men's 70-74 2,000m race which saw Richard Stout edge out fellow Canadian Phil Monckton in 6:44.
Monckton won a bronze medal with the Canadian Rowing Team at the 1984 Olympics. "Being fit and doing what I'm doing at my age, I'm pretty happy with it," Monckton said.
