Given the success in Tokyo and this being year two of the Olympic cycle towards Paris 2024, Rowing Ireland’s High Performance have decided to drive an initiative to further develop, discover and provide an opportunity for all Under 23 athletes; University and Club, to Participate in the Pathway Project.
This project is focused on selecting a crew/s for both men and women to compete at the U23 European Worlds, held on the 3rd and 4thof September (after the Irish Championships) in Hazewinkel, Belgium.
This is likely to be a once off initiative to help identify talent and introduce athletes to the HP system.

Through this program Rowing Ireland seeks to:
Provide the top U23 Irish rowers (post Irish championships), the opportunity to be selected in a crew which will compete on behalf of Ireland against Europe’s best.
