The Maori TV schedule for this week seems to indicate that every race will be covered at Sprint Nationals 2023. Below is the list of who is competing when in heats, along with progression races if individuals or crews make it through heats ( I have put the names of the crews in, not out of arrogance but just to make it easier to spot who might be in later races) . If I have missed anyone out, let me know.
