Women’s rowing has picked up a lot in the last few years, and I hope this shows people can pick up a sport in your early 20s and still be successful by your mid- to late-20s. I really hope people aren’t shy and they just go out and try something, not just rowing but anything. Anyone who thinks they want to give it a go, please do. I joined rowing because it was the best social club at university and I’ve ended up with a gold medal.
