Sunday brought yet more glory for our sponsored rowers, Katherine Grainger and Anna Watkins, as they rowed their way to gold in the women’s double skull event at the Lucerne World Cup. The pair defied all predictions of stiff competition from the Polish and German teams, beating runners up Poland by a whole length – looking in better shape than ever!

Fans of Strictly Come Dancing will be used to seeing tall girl Tess Daly ascending those stairs looking stunning in various ball gowns and cocktail dresses, but snaps of Tess attending an event at up-market baby-kitters Caramel, in Notting Hill, show that she can pull off smart-casual dressing with just as much skill.

Excitement is building for the second part of the Samsung World Rowing Cup, which will be held in Lucerne, Switzerland on 25-27 May. The competition sees our favourite tall women back in the boat and ready for victory!

The second rowing world cup at Lucerne, taking place on 25-27 May, will be the final test for the GB team before the Olympics – and the selected teams include many familiar faces, as well as some new names.

In the modern woman’s guide to wardrobe essentials, the staple grey t-shirt surely deserves a place alongside the chain handbag and the biker jacket, as tall girl Elle Macpherson demonstrated last week.

The second leg of the World Rowing cup takes place this weekend, with our sponsored rowers Anna and Katherine racing on Sunday.
