Cycling-Rower Osborne makes waves after swapping oars for pedals

LONDON (Reuters) - Converts from elite rowing to cycling are not unheard of but German Jason Osborne has taken it one step further by pedalling to an esports world title while in preparation for his preferred discipline at next year's Tokyo Olympics.

Osborne, who will compete in his second Olympics in the lightweight double sculls, swapped the boat for a bike, hooked up to an indoor trainer, to compete in the UCI's inaugural esports world championship.
