South Africa: Olympians, World Champions Take On the Rest At Roodeplaat

press release

Saturday's John Waugh Rock the Boat Regatta at Roodeplaat Dam is a very special event, because sports fans don't often get the opportunity to test their skills against Olympian or world champion medallists.

This regatta is probably the only event that offers average rowers a fair chance of earning 'bragging' rights that they have managed to beat the likes of John Smith (Tuks/HPC), an Olympic and World Championship gold medallist, or Kirsten McCann and Ursula Grobler (Tuks/HPC crew pictured above), bronze medallists at last year's World Championships.
