Sidste weekend bød på et flot internationalt resultat ved EM, hvor mange heppede med herhjemme - men dansk roning nøjedes ikke med det. I USA slog Nanna Bardram Kehr til og vandt SRAA Nationals - Nationale High School-mesterskab i 1X
Og som nævnt i indledningen, fulgte mange danske roere med, da Mejse Østergaard Nielsen, Ringsted Roklub slog til og blev nr. 4 ved EM.
De to piger er unikke, når vi taler singlescullerroning, som kræver noget ganske særligt, men
Nanna og Mejse huserede godt og grundigt på de nationale og internationale robaner i 2024 i W2X, kulminerende med guld - og sølv til de to ved Coupe de la Jeunesse - men derefter skiltes deres veje for en stund, idet Nanna drog overthere for at afprøve roningen på et universitet - og det har vist sig at være et godt valg.
Bagsværd-roeren er tilknyttet Parkersburg High School - og vender hjem til Danmark den 11. juni.

16-årige Nanna gør det godt i USA.

Nanna Kehr won the Girl's Senior Single for Parkersburg High School, while Eden Alfi from Miami's Gulliver Prep earned the silver and Maya Torres-Panzer from Brighton in Rochester took the bronze.
Kehr came to Parkersburg this year from Denmark and her coach said she has elevated the whole team.
"I started rowing on this team a year ago," Kehr said, "and I remember coming and thinking, I'm going to Nationals this year. I never thought that I would win. The goal was getting here and I can't believe I won."
Kehr who has rowed with the Danish junior national team for four years and raced the double at the U19 European Championships last year accepted her medal with a US-Danish flag in hand. Her international experience probably helped in a race that Kehr called "crazy."
"It was terrible weather," she said. "I kept thinking, 'oh, my God, I'm going to flip' the whole way through the race. My arms are completely tensed up now from clutching my oars because I didn't want to lose them."
Heading into the final, Kehr knew she'd be facing really fast scullers.
"I always look up all my competitors, and I psych myself out. I'm sitting there thinking they're all so good.
"I like to sit up in front, if I can and I'm fast enough, and you can definitely tell when you're racing someone fast. I was sitting there with the girl in the pink boat [Eden Alfi], I was pushing to stay with her. I thought, 'she's gonna catch up to me.'"
When Kehr hopped out of the boat for her award, row2k couldn't help noticing she was wearing two different banana-themed socks.
"I have a doubles partner," Kehr explained, "and we always wear these because my name's Nanna, so 'Ba-nana.'"
