@fatsculler Ultimately, it was decided by votes and by CAS. Plenty of IPC votes for it - it's not the same as the IOC structure.

I’m sorry to say that as Russian and Belarusian athletes are competing under their own flags at #ParalympicWinterGames2026 I won’t be watching. A serious error of judgment by the IPC in allowing Russia and Belarus to compete.

@Chris_Hill321 @speak2thegeek Contacted our installer as soon as it happened and they contacted Tesla, but nothing received back from Tesla (my installer is excellent though). Very frustrating.

@jenthomson @speak2thegeek I’m still waiting for it to be replaced

Since the powerwall 2 failure I’m getting closer to having a positive energy bill over 12 month @speak2thegeek By Tesla are replacing the PW2 with a Powerwall 3 🧐

@GazRich88 There are some excellent online resources on how to manage in any port of call on your own, including alternative excursions. We've never paid for an excursion through a cruise line thanks to the info we found.

Cruise excursions are such a rip off. The cruise company are quoting £750 for 4 of us for a day. I’ve just found exactly the same tour with a local company for £230 for 4 of us, which is less than the cruise company were charging for 1 adult 🙄

@JLee_Row @WorldRowing Great article - thank you for telling the story behind the scenes and the people involved! @GBRChris_A will be pleased!

Whilst the GB Rowing Team U19 squad was performing on the water in Trakai, a number of British people were involved behind the scenes at the recent @WorldRowing U19 Championships 🇬🇧 britishrowing.org/2025/08/brits-…

@GBRChris_A @BritishRowing Since there will be no legal requirement to comply until the legislation comes into force, which will be at least 24 months from today, I think you have time to prepare without summoning British Rowing on here.

Dear @BritishRowing is there any guidance yet available on what The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 means for competition organisers?

@matthewhollandm Congratulations! Epic weekend ahead for you, I am sure!

Well she’s in! Feels slightly strange to wrap up 4 years of work with the click of a button…

@SnailTideway This is how I understand it. Also, if you change progression rules, you can get more finals earlier on in the week which can sell more tickets (people want to see medals being awarded). If events can complete earlier in the week, doubling up is also ok.

more doubling up, without any more athletes. This is an understandable strategy to claim more coverage. I think more of the rowing community would be open to this if it was laid out clearly rather than a press release saying reps bad mxd 8 good which just makes us all facepalm.

So multiple people have sent me this today. And I totally understand why loads of people hate it. The rower in me hates it too. But I think the issue here is comms on what WR is trying to achieve. I interpret their actions as trying to get more medal events, with...

Can anyone recommend the best glue to rebond de-laminating oars? #rowingrepairs

@GBRChris_A @CamillaHadland Correct!

@CamillaHadland I understand that the events at HIRBS will be U23 and not U21.

@ColdCathodeMan @ripx4nutmeg @Serena_Partrick Women's Committee of what? There doesn't appear to be a UK Women's Committee - so maybe it is called something else?

@jenthomson @ripx4nutmeg @Serena_Partrick UK's Women Committee. A committee in the UK that focuses on women's issues, like letting males into female sports categories.

A cross-dressing man who effectively decimated his age categories of women's rowing is surprisingly having his world records beaten ... because another cross-dressing man has now become old enough to enter those same categories 1/4

@ColdCathodeMan @ripx4nutmeg @Serena_Partrick What committee is this?

@ripx4nutmeg @Serena_Partrick "And the two women who are competing to be the UK's next chair of the women's committee both want to see more men like this in women's sport" Adding males to the female category is the only way to make the female category look competitive by comparison.

@RowingVoice We were singing our hearts out! Surrounded by French fans but we survived 😂

The crowd at Vaires-sur-Marne singing the GBR anthem the loudest I’ve heard this summer, you could hear every word. Supporters rock.

@jamesofputney @fatsculler That's exactly what I was thinking!

Interesting proposals from World Rowing rowingillustrated.com/boards/viewtop… No more reps, instead top 2 + “fastest losers” No more 4+ at age group Worlds No more Lightweight pairs or quads All still to be confirmed #Rowing

Super excited to be in #Paris until Sunday for @Paris2024 cheering on @ParalympicsGB! Eurostar worked perfectly this afternoon and we even managed to watch the flame rise up from a street round the corner from our hotel.
