Episode 45: Susanne Grainger - Olympic Gold Medalist

Episode 45: Susanne Grainger - Olympic Gold Medalist

Susanne is an Olympic Rower, who in Tokyo 2020 was able to bring home the Gold Medal with her team for Women's 8 Rowing for the first time since 1992.

Susanne started rowing on Fanshawe lake here in the city under coach Bob Ward. Susanne has worked her way up to multiple World Championships and World Cups and now has an Olympic Gold Medal under her belt.

You probably saw the reaction of the team when they found out they had won, with their coxswain Kit jumping to her feet in their pretty unstable boat!

In this episode, we speak with Susanne about that unbelievable moment, what she was feeling, and what it took to get to that point in her career.

We also talk about how Susanne started rowing, what it's like being a professional rower, what it's like going to the Olympics, both during a pandemic and not, what women's 8 rowing is, what it's like making the Olympic team, the differences between winning a World Championship and an Olympic Gold Medal and so much more!
