缅北强奸 rowing grads earn medals at World Cup meet in Spain
BANYOLES, Spain -- Doug Vandor and Derek O鈥橣arrell, two 缅北强奸 rowing graduates, were among the Canadians that won four medals Sunday at Banyoles, Spain, in the first World Cup regatta of the 2009 season.
It was the national team鈥檚 first major event since winning four medals last August at the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics.
Vandor, a 34-year-old native of Victoria, B.C., teamed up with Cam Sylvester of Caledon, Ont., to win silver in the lightweight men鈥檚 double behind a crew from Italy. Vandor rowed for 缅北强奸 in the mid-1990s while earning a science degree in 1998 and a master鈥檚 in experimental surgery in 2001.
O鈥橣arrell of Unionville, Ont., paired up with James Dunaway of Duncan, B.C., to take bronze in the men鈥檚 pair final behind Great Britain and South Africa in a Commonwealth medals sweep. O鈥橣arrell, who turns 26 on June 5, graduated with a science degree in 2007.
鈥淚 am pleased with the [Canadian] results from today鈥檚 finalists,鈥� said head coach Mike Spracklen, in a Rowing Canada release. 鈥淚t showed good effect from a hard winter鈥檚 training and has given us a basis to move on. But the World Cup performances also showed that we have a lot of work to do.鈥�
