Welsh oarsman Graeme Thomas will get some vital practice ahead of this year’s European and World Championships when he chases more World Cup glory in the quadruple sculls at Lucerne (13-15 July).

Thomas joined forces with John Collins, Jonny Walton and Cardiff University alumni Tom Barras to strike gold in the opening World Cup event in Belgrade this summer and will be among the favourites to add a second in round three.

Cardiff’s Zak Lee-Green joins Jamie Copus in the men’s lightweight double sculls, while Welsh international, and Bangor University alumni, Alice Baatz is in the single sculls event.

The European Championships take place in Scotland for the first time between 2-5 August at Strathclyde Country Park, while the World Championships are a month later in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, between 9-16 September.
