Three NSW Athletes added to the 2018 Australian Rowing Team

Three NSW athletes have been added to the Australian Rowing Team for the 2018 World Rowing Championships in Plovdiv, Bulgaria following the Rowing Australia Para Selection Trials.  

A PR3 Mixed Coxed Four has been selected and World Championship Silver Medallist and Paralympian Kate Murdoch (Nepean) returns to the Australian Rowing Team and will be joined by national team debutantes Ben Gibson (Sydney) and James Talbot (Balmain).  Renae Domaschenz had previously been selected as coxswain for any potential crew and is joined by fellow Territorian Nikki Ayers (Capital Lakes). 

Either Ben Gibson or James Talbot will have the opportunity to double up and partner Jed Altschwager (Torrens) in the PR3 Men's Coxless Pair.
