2 British Girls Who Had Never Rowed Before Break Atlantic World Record
British Friends Who Had Never Rowed Before Break World Record For Atlantic Race
Novices Jessica Oliver and Charlotte Harris smash Atlantic rowing record
AP.2 FEB. 2022.

Two British women with no previous experience have smashed the world record for the fastest female pair to row 3,000 miles across the Atlantic.
Jessica Oliver, 29, and Charlotte Harris, 30, pulled their way to victory in the gruelling Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge ahead of 35 other teams from across the world.
The two friends, who met at Cardiff University ten years ago, fought 30ft waves, sleep deprivation, hallucinations, heat, blisters, capsizing and a mid-ocean collision in their boat, Cosimo.
Despite never having rowed before, they finished five days ahead of their nearest rivals.....
