Gateshead's Samantha Redgrave and Britain’s women’s four rowers were victorious out in Munich at the European Championships.
British stars racked up a red-hot four gold medals on Saturday morning – including three in a row – in the women’s and men’s four, women’s quadruple sculls and men’s eight events at the city’s 1972 Olympic Regatta Centre. Team GB endured a torrid time at the Tokyo Olympic Games last summer as just one silver and bronze medal marked their worst Games return for almost half a century.
But widespread internal change in the months that followed looks to have steadied the ship as Britain returned to the international top table on a golden morning in Germany. Gateshead star Redgrave, 27, helped fire the women’s four crew to the summit of the podium and teammate Rowan McKellar believes times are changing with two years to go until Paris 2024.
