Rowan McKellar believes British Rowing is on the way up after European success

Rowan McKellar reckons radical restructuring within British Rowing is already reaping rewards after a memorable Munich morning at the European Championships. British stars racked up a red-hot four gold medals on Saturday morning – including three in a row – in the women’s and men’s four, women’s quadruple sculls and men’s eight events at the city’s 1972 Olympic Regatta Centre.

Glasgow star McKellar, 28, helped fire the women’s four crew to the summit of the podium and believes times are changing with two years to go until Paris 2024. McKellar, who joined forces with Heidi Long, Samantha Redgrave and Rebecca Shorten to topple Ireland in the final, said: “There’s a lot that’s gone on since Tokyo.

«We knew that we didn’t have our best time in Tokyo – we all knew we were better than that. »We knew that with a few more years that will definitely come and I think we’re managing that – starting this year." Teammate Shorten, 28, added: «There has been a change. »Louise [Kingsley,
