The Armada Cup -

Cup in Switzerland. This is arguably the most famous single sculls race in the world
that involves 220 scullers (some of which are Olympic Athletes) having to row 9km
to the start. There is then a mass start of 220 sculls after which they then race
9km back to the finish (a feat in itself). Congratulations to Lottie Howard-
