Career

In 2010, Jennerich and Tracy Cameron won gold in the women's lightweight double sculls at the 2010 World Championships. [3] Jennerich had previously competed in the women's lightweight single sculls and had won World Championship medals at under 23 level in the lightweight double sculls with Lysanne Lavigne, and in the women's eights at junior level. [3] [4] Jennerich switched to the lightweight rowing category while at the University of Victoria, after realising her frame was not suitable for "heavyweight" rowing at national and international level. [4] She had rowed since high school. [4] [5] At the university, she studied kinesiology. [4]

Jennerich teamed up with Patricia Obee in the women's lightweight double sculls in 2011, after Jennerich's previous teammate, Tracy Cameron, was injured. [6]

Together Obee and Jennerich won silver at the 2011 World Rowing Championships. [7] The team competed in the lightweight double sculls at the 2012 Summer Olympics finishing in 7th place. [6] [8] [9]

In 2013, Jennerich briefly dropped out of rowing, before returning to compete with Obee the lightweight double scull. [6] [10] The team went on to win silver at the 2014 World Championships. [7] At the Rio 2016 Summer Olympics, Obee won a silver medal in the lightweight doubles, also with Lindsay Jennerich. [11]

In June 2016, she was officially named to Canada's 2016 Olympic team, [12] and she won a silver medal in lightweight double sculls at the 2016 Summer Olympics. [13] After the Olympics, she became a university rowing coach. [10]

Rowing at the Summer Olympics has been part of the competition since its debut in the 1900 Summer Olympics. Rowing was on the program at the 1896 Summer Olympics but was cancelled due to bad weather. Only men were allowed to compete until the women's events were introduced at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal which gave national federations the incentive to support women's events and catalysed growth in women's rowing. Lightweight rowing events were introduced to the games in 1996. Qualifying for the rowing events is under the jurisdiction of the World Rowing Federation. World Rowing predates the modern Olympics and was the first international sport federation to join the modern Olympic movement.
