Hannah Scott gets her hands on gold medal with Great Britain at World Cup regatta in Switzerland

The Olympic champion was part of the four woman crew as she was joined by Lola Anderson, Finnola Stratton and Imogen Grant in Lucerne, Switzerland.

Great Britain held the lead throughout and despite a late charge from Netherlands, the Brits held on to win gold in a time of 06:30.98.

"It was good, we had a strong race," Scott told BBC Sport NI.

"We got out fast, and then we just had a bit of control over the race, and our strong point was the middle. We've had a changing crew, yes, but that's made us faster.

"We've had a tough couple of weeks with testing and training again because the depth in the sculling group at the minute is so strong that to get in the boat itself has been hard. So, on top of that, the performances are coming out of it which is good."

In general, Great Britain rowers had a successful World Cup as they won six gold medals, a silver and bronze to top the leaderboard overall.

As well as the women’s quadruple sculls, there were gold medals in the men’s quadruple sculls, men's fours, women's eights, women's single sculls and PR1 men's single sculls.

The silver medal arrived in the men’s eight, whilst the women’s four claimed bronze.

“The team were exceptional today,” said GB Interim Performance Director Tom Dyson.

"It is a special day when British crews hold a presence on the podium across seven consecutive races.

“It is also special to have a first Paralympic class win in Lucerne, and credit to the 4 team members who won their first World Rowing Cup medals today.

“Coming to Lucerne we were looking for a step on and every crew delivered this. That is a credit to the training and we’ll need to refocus on this as we return to the UK.

"Elements of the team will hone their racing at Henley and European Rowing Championships in the coming weeks, but the training around this will be the basis of taking another step for the World Rowing Championships in Amsterdam.”
