The Times spends a day with Olympic hopeful Georgie Brayshaw as she prepares for Paris 2024.
This is a story about pain, the joy of it and how it can inspire. It involves disaster, triumph, a horse and nine days in a coma. From being paralysed to Paris, Georgie Brayshaw has already won. “You know if you’re in pain you’re giving your absolute all,” says the world champion rower in her bouncy Yorkshire accent. “That’s what you want out of this sport. You want to give part of your soul.”

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.

Indeed, I was surprised to hear that too.

I saw Georgi at school because she is my teachers sister

Why isn’t the bow seat steering?

@TheLiveEleven 2 месяца назад

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

⁠@@RowingSwiftie25 I can well imagine, less important to turn around on a straight course though 😂

rudder is in the stern of the boat

@RowingSwiftie25 2 месяца назад

@@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

Someone let me know when the times does one of these on what it takes to be become an Olympic sprinter…

@thecleaner94 2 месяца назад

Runner or sprinter? Because they have a video from 3 weeks ago about runners.

@@thecleaner94 I read your comment…then I read mine again…then I went back to yours and decided it was pointless to even engage with your contribution. Thanks for your input though!
