World Championships report:
In a barn-burner of a race, Stephen Cheng ‘01 coxed the Canadian men’s heavyweight four to a silver medal at the World Championships in Banyoles, Spain. In Cheng’s first trip to the World Championships, he found himself in the tightest of races, with no more than 0.44 seconds separating first place Italy from third place USA. Canada finished just 0.02 out of first place. The USA 4+ – containing Yale heavyweight Andrew Brennan ‘04 – was third, 0.42 behind Canada. Eric Feins ‘03, rowing in the US LWT 8+, was unable to extend his previous 3-for-3 medal streak at the Worlds when his 8+ came in fifth in a final-only race.
