In December 2017, a two-time Olympic rower from Groningen in Holland called Rogier Blink, was scrolling through his Twitter feed one night when he segued to a story by Liam Gorman in The Irish Times: "In a letter to the Board of Rowing Ireland last month, a group of athletes, including Paul and Gary O'Donovan, Mark O'Donovan and Shane O'Driscoll, and Denise Walsh and Sanita Puspure - all of them World Championship finalists - expressed dissatisfaction about the methods of Antonio Maurogiovanni."

Jake McCarthy kept the medals coming for Ireland at the World Rowing Championships in Shanghai. The 28-year-old matched the bronze medal won by his twin, Fintan, on Friday in the double with a well-judged performance in the lightweight single sculls final. In very high temperatures, Turkey's Halil Kaan Koroglu set a blistering early pace, but the eventual medal winners kept their cool.

The museum tells the history of rowing, from ancient times to the modern Olympics, with a particular focus on the history of rowing along the Thames.

After a delay to the start of the men's race due to debris, Cambridge won by 17 seconds, marking their third consecutive win against Oxford.
