On Saturday, the Indian rowers had clocked 6:40.33 to finish fifth in their heats to move into the repechage of the competition.

Notably, the repechage race allows boats that didn’t make it to the semi-finals after the heats a second chance to make the cut.

Poland topped the charts with 6:43.44 with Spain coming in a close second with a timing of 6:45.71.

The top three from the repechage round will be slotted into the two semi-finals while the others will head to Final ‘C’ to determine their ranking in the event.
