open events at Henley this year

Just musing as to what the entry might be like this year. My guessing is that most national squads will be in the throws of pre-Oly preparation in Asia and unlikely to make an appearance. The only crew I've heard about that is going is the new SA pair De Clemente and Keeling. Does anyone know if Henley is featuring on any National Squad plans....I suppose it's an oppostunity for non-Olympic squad members to put something together.

I'm not sure what a typical pre-Oly training programme looks like these days in terms of altitude & acclimatisation, but with the HRR finals 2 weeks after the last WC in Poznan and only 5 weeks before the start of the Oly regatta, I can't see much scope for any serious national teams fitting HRR in.
