It seems that coming out of retirement to compete in one more Olympics simply isn't enough for Team GB icon Helen Glover.
The 36-year-old, who won gold medals alongside Heather Stanning in both London 2012 and Rio 2016, retired after glory in Brazil in order to focus on having a family. But in 2021 she stunned everyone by returning to rowing, and made a late charge for the delayed Tokyo Olympics, finishing fourth with Polly Swann and becoming the first mum to row for Team GB.
A second retirement duly followed, but barely lasted a year before Glover - who now has three children - competed in the World Rowing Coastal Championships in Wales, taking silver in the women's solo class. And now she has Paris 2024 firmly in her sights, citing a desire to inspire other mothers in professional sport.
