Great Britain's rowing teams have claimed three gold medals at the European Rowing Championships in Italy. Victories were secured in the women's four, the PR3 mixed coxed four, and a men's four development event.

Eleanor Brinkhoff, Angharad Broughton, Sarah Marshall, and Holly Youd led for much of the women's four race, ultimately fending off Germany to clinch their gold. In the PR3 mixed coxed four, Frankie Allen, Charlotte Coburn, Josh O'Brien, Jonty Ridley, and cox Omar Al-Miqdadi delivered a dominant performance, finishing nearly six seconds ahead of Italy.

The men's four development crew, comprising Theo Bell, Josh Brangan, Sam Ford, and Tom O'Sullivan, maintained a strong position throughout their race. Despite late pressure from Romania, they held on to triumph. The main men's team for the upcoming World Championships is currently training in Switzerland and was not present at the Varese event.
