Andy Holmes, double champion olympique (GBR M4 1984 et M2- 1988), est décédé la nuit dernière en soins intensifs, après avoir été malade pendant une semaine avec ce qu'on pensait être la leptospirose, alias la maladie de Weils. Il s'agit d'une infection à l'eau transmise par l'urine de nombreux animaux (y compris les souris, les rats, les campagnols, les loutres, et il peut être pris par les chiens). Les athlètes sur les lacs et les rivières devraient prendre toutes les précautions qu'ils peuvent pour empêcher l'eau d'entrer dans leur bouche ou blessures. La maladie de Weils n'est pas toujours mortelle, mais bien que Andy réagisse apparemment, son foie et ses reins ont été touchés. Il avait été entraîneur à Langley Academy (Dorney) et Furnivall Sculling Club (Tideway). Bien qu'il n'y ait aucune confirmation définitive de la maladie, ou comment il l'a attrapé, les rameurs et les cox devraient prendre comme un avertissement pour être très prudent, quel que soit le tronçon de rivière ils sont, dans n'importe quel pays.

IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT WINTECH HEEL RESTRAINTS which originates in the UK but may be applicable in other countries - There has recently been a problem found with WinTech heel restraints after a sculler in Evesham capsized and found that one of her heel restraints broke when she tried to extract her feet. The point of failure was where the cord is attached to a plastic clip. Fortunately she did manage to wriggle her feet out of her shoes. OarSport - the distributors of WinTech boats in the UK - have suggested the following work round, whilst they come up with a plan of action with WinTech: By-pass the plastic clip and secure a separate lace directly to the metal eye on the heel. The advice from the British Rowing Safety Advisor to umpires at control commission is as follows: Control commission checks should look very carefully at these boats and if there is any doubt about the heel restraint mechanism, they should require additional laces to be added.

Monday 16th November 2009 There is an outside chance that ocean rowing is about to become very, very cool in the UK. Olly Hicks, the insanely adventurous guy who was the youngest successful ocean rower (at 23) and the first ever to row solo from the USA to England, has made a dramatic documentary about his attempt last year to row round the world. The attempt was made to cover the standard sailing route - round the entire Antarctic in the Southern Ocean - in ridiculously hazardous seas. He didnt manage it, having to call off the venture after a major technical failure, but then spent 50 days getting back to land, a feat in itself. During the voyage he became the first person to row the perilous Tasman Sea from Tasmania to New Zealand. Anyway, footage filmed by Olly on his antipodean adventure has been made into an action-packed film, Tenacity on the Tasman. Despite being an independent film, it is getting a Leicester Square premiere - the only other rowing flick to manage that was True Blue - and tickets including a post-film QA and entry to the afterparty are now on sale. (Hicks mentors and sponsors include Sir Richard Branson, so who knows who might be at the event. ) Anyway, the premiere is this coming Thursday, 19th November, at 7:30pm at the Odeon, Leicester Square.
