Women’s Eight Rowers

Back-to-Back Olympic Podiums
0.67 seconds

When rowers pull in perfect unison, the boat moves forward with maximum efficiency, translating into faster speeds. Being even a split-second off can have an impact. At the Paris 2024 Games the Canadian Women’s Eight were dialed in and unified, holding off Great Britain by 0.67 of a second to win the 2024 Olympic Silver Medal. This gritty performance not only meant back-to-back Olympic podiums for the Women’s Eight, but it also kept the medal streak of 9 consecutive Games alive for Canadian rowing crews.

All members of the 2024 Olympic Silver Medal Women’s Eight crew are CAN Fund Recipients Jessica Sevick, Caileigh Filmer, Maya Meschkuleit, Kasia Gruchalla-Wesierski, Avalon Wasteneys, Sydney Payne, Kristina Walker, Abby Dent and Kristen Kit
