Great Britain’s para-rowers are all set to take over from the brilliant performances of the Olympic rowing team in Paris and thrill us with their stories on and off the water. ParaGB has won gold medals at every Paralympic Games since rowing joined the programme at Beijing 2008 and they are ready to continue that trend and take it to the next level.
A tight-knit group of 10 para-athletes will compete in four events, all with the potential to win medals and boasting incredible life stories. One crew is seeking to extend a remarkable record while another will race in an event that is new to the programme. There is a coffee expert, a cancer campaigner and a former Invictus competitor among them and two have become parents within the past 18 months.
