RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — After fulfilling her goal of medaling in five straight Olympics, Britain's most decorated female athlete isn't quite sure what comes next.
But don't be surprised if Katherine Grainger's next endeavor involves studying serial killers and other brutal criminals.
"It's quite a dark subject matter," the 40-year-old Scottish rower told The Associated Press on Thursday after winning silver in the women's sculls with Victoria Thornley. "It's looking at the human experience quite at the limit. You look at very extreme personalities and extreme behavior."
Over the past two decades Grainger has managed to combine advanced academic studies with a career in competitive rowing.
