They do have the GPS sculling trials where all the 1st VIII boys trial over 1900m with a rolling start, then are graded into A,B,C etc finals. The winner of the A Final used get a trophy (read glass beer stein). From there the top 12 scullers seat race (at a later date) to make an honorary combined GPS VIII. Last season it was appallingly organised... It needs to be given due recognition but its usually run after a regatta when no one is around.That would be a very interesting race. Why has it not been introduced before? Is it because of the team aspect that is at the front of GPS sporting ethos?
On a physical level, I have seen the sheer exhaustion of rowers at the end of the HOR course. I doubt even the fittest boy could double up.
Do Olympians race more than once a day?
