Mizuno has announced that it will become the official sportswear partner of British Rowing. The deal will run until December 2020. The British Rowing team will use specially made and adapted Mizuno sportswear in training and competition, including a high performance all-in-one, a gym training kit, off-the-water teamwear and a range of accessories.
