Helen Glover, who helped earn Great Britain’s first gold at the London Olympics, is ending a four-year break from rowing, which included having three children, in a bid for the Tokyo Games this summer.
Glover, who won the pair with Heather Stanning in 2012 and 2016, began training to regain fitness after having twins Bo and Kit last January. She also has another son, Logan, who is 2.
Glover, 34, worked out while her kids napped.
“When lockdown came it meant more hours on the rowing machine than I had anticipated,” she said, according to British Rowing.
