Gifu, Japan � Canada sent two more crews to the finals at the world rowing championships Thursday as both the men's four and pair advanced.
The men's four � Andrew Ireland of Hamilton, Rob Weitemeyer of Coquitlam, B.C., Peter Dembicki of West Vancouver, and Kristopher (Kip) McDaniel of Cobble Hill, B.C. � was second to Britain (five minutes 45.46 seconds) in their semifinal in 5:46.72. Denmark was in third in 5:47.80. The top three boats move to the medal rounds.
Chris Jarvis of St. Catharines, Ont., and Malcolm Howard of Victoria moved on by finishing third in the pairs' semifinal in 6:16.60. Olympic bronze medallists Ramon DiClemente and Donovan Cech of South Africa were first in 6:14.50, ahead of Croatia's Skelin brothers, runners-up at the 2004 Olympics, in 6:16.30.
Five of Canada's six entries will row in the finals on the weekend. The only crew missing is the men's eight, which failed to make the final."
I think I heard on the radio that the men's 8 came in 4th in the rep. Doh!
