FLYCARB Powers Team GB Men’s Four to World Championship Gold
Share
Shanghai, China. Team GB’s FLYCARB-fuelled Men’s Four are officially the best boat in the world. On a blustery morning in Shanghai, Daniel Graham, James Robson, Douwe de Graaf and George Bourne delivered a dominant performance to secure World Championship gold.
From the opening strokes, the British crew backed their aggressive strategy. Trusting the lactate-buffering power of FLYCARB’s BICARRB, they blasted through the first 1000m in 2:53 despite tough conditions on the water. The early move proved decisive. Although the Romanian and Dutch crews launched late sprints, the GB Four’s commanding lead was never under serious threat.
This gold medal marks a career-defining moment for the young British crew, who showed that talent, tenacity, and the right fuel can conquer the world stage.
Why BICARRB is a Game-Changer for Rowing
Rowing is one of the most physiologically demanding sports in the world. In particular, the 2k rowing race, which is the Olympic and World Championship distance, pushes athletes deep into the red zone. Muscles flood with lactate, and fatigue sets in brutally fast.
That’s where BICARRB comes in. As a high-quality sodium bicarbonate supplement, it helps buffer acid in the muscles, delaying fatigue and allowing rowers to maintain power for longer.
For rowers, the benefits are clear:
- Faster starts – Go out hard and hold pace without crashing in the second half.
- Stronger finishes – Resist the burn in the final 500m when medals are decided.
- Optimal for 2k racing – Exactly the duration and intensity where bicarbonate loading shows its biggest performance gains.
Backed by science and trusted by elite athletes, BICARRB gives rowers the edge when it matters most.
Trusted by Champions
The GB squad's Shanghai victory is the latest proof that smart fuelling strategies make a difference at the highest level.
Whether you’re chasing a personal best on the indoor rowing machine or lining up on the start line at Henley, BICARRB can help you unlock your potential.
