Team Canada finishes with five medals at Rowing World Cup
Carling Zeeman, Conlin McCabe and Kai Langerfeld, and the men’s eight crew are bringing home bronze medals after a great showing during the final day of the Rowing World Cup in Poznan, Poland.
The three crews bring home the bronze medals after Jill Moffatt took home gold in the lightweight women’s single sculls event, and Jeremy Hall earned a silver medal in the PR2 men’s single sculls event on Saturday. The three medals captured on Sunday gives Canada a medal count of five for the weekend.
