Canadian women’s 8 rowing team powers to gold at World Cup in Switzerland

The Canadian women’s eight rowing team are the reigning Olympic champions – and they’re showing why they’re a threat to repeat. The team won gold on Sunday at a World Cup regatta in Lucerne, Switzerland, an event that served as an international tune-up ahead of the Paris Games. It also served as exercise in resilience for the Canadians, who overcame a late lineup change to score the win.
