USA Juniors wins!

The Canadian Juniors rounded the half way flag in the wrong direction which disqualified them. But they rowed a great race none the less.

                           At the start of the women's race an oar on the USA dory slipped. Officials thought it was an equipment break and restarted the race.

Rowing hard on the home stretch.
