And now a gold in Paris. Well done ladies, such an exciting finish.

A really great profile video. The GB W4x is fantastic, them and the WLtw2x are my two favourite GB crews at the moment. Wish them all the best for Paris 2024. I will be nervous as hell but will be screaming at the TV nonetheless.

Great story. I bought an rowing erg and got the bug although I'm not fast. The times you pros out in astound me. Good luck at the games, ladies (and gents).

Out of curiosity, Georgie you mentioned finishing uni, so you do that many outings and erg sessions etc next to working? Wonder how you manage that. I’m a rower and had that schedule in uni, but don’t think I’d be able to do it now next to working. Thanks.

Why isn’t the bow seat steering?

Doesn’t really matter racing on a buoyed course, further to the stern is actually usually better

@@gregcollins3404 I know. I'm a coxswain as well as a rower. My concern was more that for where I row (on a busy bendy river) 2 seat would have a disrupted view
