Helen Glover MBE
Helen Glover is one of Britain’s greatest-ever rowers. With more than 20 gold medals to her name, she is a two-time Olympic champion and triple World and European gold medallist.
Alongside partner Helen Stanning, the rower broke Olympic, World Cup and European records in the women’s coxless pair. Just four years after Glover took up rowing, she and Stanning won Team GB’s first gold medal at the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Glover retired after defending her title in Rio and had three children. But she returned to the boat in Tokyo, becoming the first Team GB rower to compete at an Olympics after having children. Glover and her partner Polly Swann finished fourth place in the pairs final.
Glover was awarded an MBE in the 2013 New Year Honours.
