Retired Paralympic Champion Rower.

Huge shout to all those rowers (& non-rowers) worldwide warming up and getting ready to pull together for the @EndurowChallen1. Last year I managed 1 hr as part of a team but know there will be lots rowing for 4hrs 🤯 in support of the Para Rowing foundation 💪 #EnduRowChallenge


Flawless performance again from the GBR 4+. Huge congratulations to @hashtag_fox @BFGRower @ErinWysocki @ellenbuttrick and @OStanhope. Paralympic Champions 🥇🇬🇧🙌

WOW! Another amazing race and another gold medal for #ParalympicsGB🔥🙌 Well done to Ellen, James, Ollie, Giedre and Erin who absolutely smashed it 💪 What a way for #ParalympicsGB team to finish #Tokyo2020.


Fantastic result for @LaurenceW_GB and @itslaurenrowles. Kept their heads all the way down the course. DOUBLE PARALYMPIC CHAMPIONS 🥇🙌🙌🙌


Tough race for @BenjaminPritch1 in the final, I know he will have expected more but has so much to be proud of on his journey so far and will use this to push for the podium for Paris.

Breaking news - the lanes for the A-finals have been redrawn into echelon (winners in lanes 1-2 not central) by the Fairness Commission. This is usually due to expectations of very cross wind in medal races.


Nip and tuck between Chuvashev and Klemp in the PR1 B final. Chuvashev coming through to get the win. Interesting, Klemp is one of very few athletes having competed in all 3 boat classes starting out in the LTA4+ (PR3) and is looking to make his mark now in the PR1.

For one last time let's get ready to cheer on our GB rowers at #Tokyo2020 - can our three Para-Rowing crews secure medals for @ParalympicsGB? 🙌 We'll find out from 3.10am tomorrow morning 🤞


Has to be said @Channel4 have done a fantastic job covering all the #ParaRowing competitions so far this games. To my knowledge it's the first time there has been live footage of all the racing at a games. Both footage and commentary has been incredible 👏. #TokyoParalympics

Iconic #Paralympic finals 2# ‘I had put everything into it – my heart and soul, and to come out with that was just indescribable’ @TomAggar on creating history at the first ever Paralympic rowing regatta in 2008 @martcrossy ➡️bit.ly/3zjaSi3 @ParalympicsGB #Tokyo2020


Coming into this regatta I would have backed 2019 world silver medallist Alexey Chuvashev to be a medal contender at these games. Very suprised to see him not make the A final in the repecharge overnight. B final for the RPC PR1.


Fantastic watching @BenjaminPritch1 overnight in the repechage laying down a relentless rhythm to come in ahead of Spain and take the win 💪. All crews in the A final ✅ #TokyoParalympics


Watching the @TheLastLeg means one thing... the wait is finally over! Wishing the very best of luck to @ParalympicsGB over the coming days! 💪🇬🇧 #Tokyo2020

Things must be feeling very real now for the @BritishRowing #pararowing team finally on that flight to Tokyo! Travel well @hashtag_fox @ellenbuttrick @ErinWysocki @OStanhope @BFGRower @itslaurenrowles @LaurenceW_GB and of course @BenjaminPritch1.

The @clairescourt staff team are pulling together and covering 346km this week in the @RacetheThames challenge. Blown away by the generosity so far, but if you are in a position to and wanted sponsor us we are supporting both @LYRowing & @AspireCharity. uk.virginmoneygiving.com/Team/CCStaff
