Ria Thompson has finished fifth at the 2018 World Rowing U23 Championships in the Women’s Double Scull with Harriet Hudson.
The pair were amongst the top crews at the halfway mark of their semi-final, with Greece in the lead followed by Germany.
Keeping pace with the pack, the Sydney Rowing Club and Mercantile Rowing Club duo staved off an attack from the Lithuanians to maintain their third place position as they crossed the line and thus secured a spot in the A-Final.
