ROWER OF THE MONTH: When he crossed the line in Varese, right behind Olli Zeidler and Sverri Nielsen, Ryuta Arakawa 🇯🇵 probably didn’t realise that he just made history. He became the first-ever single sculler from Japan to stand on the podium at a World Rowing Cup. A fantastic performance from the former lightweight rower, who started his journey ten years ago on the banks of the 1964 Tokyo Olympic regatta course. Ten years later, Arakawa-san is our July 2023 Rower of the Month. @arakawarowing worldrowing.com/2023/07/14/j…
