Kate Knifton Sculling toward LA28

Post by crewu »

Seeing a lot of Instagram posts of Kate Knifton in a single. Might she possibly be having the thought of racing the 1X in LA? Because that would be the biggest boost imaginable for women's rowing in the USA.

If she's sculling at selection camp (recently announced), then that'll mean something. But she's been a sweeper in college and on the Olympic/NT scene...I wonder if the sculling videos are just because she's training in Austin by herself with no training partners?

Agree - training in a single & racing the single for a spot at the Olympics are two different things.

Personally, though, i love when fast people get into the single :D

Kate is currently at selection camp one.

The USA has a medal winning women’s four with Kate stroking the boat. Why would Josy or Kate consider anything else

If her strength is in sweeping and she's positioned to win a medal at LA28, why would she give that up to try a different discipline?

I am noticing you are making similar snarky remarks in response to my posts on other topics as well. You might wish to consider seeing someone to talk through your issues. This might be a healthy first step. Or just take a break from being online.

Really? I think it did. Any one curious enough to search posts will see Remonex has his own weird obsession with me. It is kinda scary.
