Lightweight Women's Double Sculls (LW2X)
2000 Olympic Games
Pre-Olympic Summary
August 13, 2000 -- Romania is the clear favorite for the gold in Sydney,
coming off its 1999 World Championship and two 1st place finishes in its appearances at
this summer's World Cup races. The substitution of Angela Alupei, last year's 5th place
single sculler at Worlds, into this year's Romanian double, has not slowed Romania's quest
for Olympic gold. The USA, Germany, China, France and Australia should be fighting it out
for the silver and bronze medals.
