Glover s golden run resumes at European Rowing Championships in Varese Sunday, 11 April 2021
Britain’s double Olympic champion Helen Glover extended her exceptional winning record today as she and Polly Swann became European women’s pair champions in Varese in Italy.
The 34-year-old, who partnered Heather Stanning to Olympic gold at the London 2012 and Rio 2016 Games, returned to competition this year having taken four years out, during which time she and her husband, TV naturalist Steve Backshall, have had three children including twins last year.
In what was only her second post-comeback race with Swann following Friday’s (April 9) win in the heats, Glover provided her habitual power and technique in a boat that came home in 7min 02.73sec, with Romania taking silver in 7:03.02 and Spain bronze in 7:03.75.
