Thomas triumphs in 'long-busting' opening round of World Rowing Championships
Graeme Thomas takes on the World Championship quarter-finals today after coming through a 'lung-busting' opening round of the men's single sculls at the World Rowing Championships in Racice. The Preston native came home in a time of 6:49.93 over the 2000m distance in Monday's heat, three seconds ahead of the Norwegian Kjetil Borch, with Piotr Plominski of Poland in third. Ad An experienced campaigner with three World Championship medals as a quadruple sculler, Thomas is now thriving in the single vessel and believes the solitary endeavour is bringing the best out of his performances.
