Australia's women rowers have opened their 2026 World Cup campaign with a bang with the eight storming to victory in Spain.
The "Rowsellas" finished the first World Cup regatta of the season, held in Seville, with two medals.
The eight led for much of the race to claim Australia's first women's international gold medal of the new Olympic cycle as they look to build on a fourth place finish in Paris.
Coached by Ellen Randell, the crew of Georgie Gleeson, Eliza Gaffney, Lily Triggs, Ella Bramwell, Samantha Morton, Paige Barr, Jaime Ford, Laura Gourley and coxswain Hayley Verbunt took the lead after 750 metres.
They were pressured by the Dutch while Great Britain, who are coached by Randell's brother, Andy, sat in third.
