  • Summary

  • Katherine is Great Britain’s most decorated female Olympian. The ultimate high-flyer, now chairman of UK Sport, Katherine's remarkable sporting ability led her to no fewer than 5 Olympic medals, spanning 5 separate Games. As a student rower, she was banished to the ignominy of the University’s 5th boat, at the outset of her sporting journey. In defiance of expectation, she rose through the ranks to achieve sporting immortality on the water. Defiance played a significant role in seeing her through the extreme physical demands of her sport, the perils of early morning training in all weathers, and particularly in her relentless pursuit of gold after three consecutive silver medals in Sydney, Athens and Beijing. On home water in the London Olympics her dream finally turned to reality, in front of an adoring crowd at Dorney Lake. .........................................
