Press Conference Friday 9 August 14:30

There will be a Press Conference/Photocall with MATTHEW PINSENT and PETER
HAINING, two of Britain's top Olympic athletes, at the World Rowing
Championships at Strathclyde Park on Friday 9th Aug.

Matthew Pinsent is half of the pair which won Britain's only Gold medal in
Atlanta in the coxless pairs, and Peter Haining is Scotland's triple World
Lightweight Single Sculls champion.

Both athletes are at the Worlds to meet with the British Junior Team, who,
says Pinsent "...are the Olympians of tomorrow and deserve all the encouragement
possible".

At the Press Conference they will be talking about their Olympic experiences,
the future of British sport and British rowing internationally, and their
thoughts on these, the biggest ever World Championships.
