Rotorua rower Julia Edward and partner Louise Ayling are in action tonight after coming third in their heat. They will row in the first repechage tonight at 9.10pm NZT.
Despite a strong start in the heat the pair struggled to keep with the Great Britain crew of Sophie Hosking and
Katherine Copeland, who powered away to almost a 6-second lead over the Kiwi pair who faded in the last 200m to be third behind Denmark's Anne Lolk Thomsen and Juliane Rasmussen.
The Kiwi pair are the fastest qualifying lightweight double sculls of the 11 racing in the two repechage heats.
