The Coleraine rower took gold in the women's quadruple sculls
Olympic champion Hannah Scott says she has proven once and for all that rowing is not boring. The Coleraine rower combined with Lola Anderson, Georgie Brayshaw and Lauren Henry to get their team off the medal mark in the most cinematic way imaginable.
The quad came to Vaires-sur-Marne as reigning world and European champions, having unleashed a sprint finish to beat the Netherlands by a whisker at the 2023 World Championships. “That momentum, Georgie and Lola in the stern really drove that finish and me and Hannah were with them the whole way. We just started charging back, I felt like ‘we’ve got this.’
Scott is the sole survivor from a tricky Tokyo Olympics in which she finished seventh as part of the women's quad.“I still had the belief, you’ve got to learn from your tough experiences, I was determined this time around if I came back I’d go for gold.
