LAUREN Henry will represent Great Britain at the upcoming World Rowing Cup III in Lucerne, Switzerland.

The Rugby-born rower will race in the women’s single sculls event for Britain on the international stage.

Henry forms part of a 14-crew 50-athlete squad which GB will send to Switzerland.

Interim performance director, Tom Dyson said: “The standard on display at the first two rounds of the World Rowing Cup series in Seville and Plovdiv has set the scene for some great racing at World Rowing Cup III.

“It is always special heading to Lucerne to race, and this year we will be joined for the first time by members of the GB Rowing Team Paralympic Programme.

“They will race alongside some crews of their compatriots who are unchanged from World Rowing Cup I, while others have undergone adjustments and will be eyeing a first test of their new combinations.




“Everyone is eager to get racing again, and we must all capitalise on the opportunity to learn in the Games qualification venue for 2027 and 2028.”

Henry won Olympic gold in the quadruple sculls at the Paris 2024 Games.


She started the 2026 season with victory by just 0.14 seconds in the first World Rowing Cup event in Seville.

The World Rowing Cup III takes place from June 26 to 28 in Lucerne, Switzerland.
