Biography

As an Olympic speaker, Helen can draw upon the countless times she has achieved first place in some of the world’s most challenging rowing competitions. In 2009, she won the Bernard Churcher Trophy at the Henley Women’s Regatta in the senior single scull. Two years later, in the coxless pair, Helen won the World Rowing Cup in Munich, the World Rowing Cup in Lucerne and the World Rowing Championships at Lake Bled, Slovenia.

In 2012, Helen took the rowing world by storm, winning the World Rowing Cups in Belgrade, Lucerne and Munich as well as the coxless pair gold at the 2012 London Olympic Games. Building on this success, in 2013 the Olympic speaker won the coxless pair World Rowing Cups in Australia, London and Switzerland, as well as the Princess Grace Challenge Cup at the Henley Royal Regatta (in the quadruple scull) and the World Rowing Championships in South Korea, once more as part of a coxless pair.

The next couple of years saw Helen repeating her success over and over, winning no fewer than eight competitions in 2014 and seven in 2015. In 2016, Helen won gold at the 2016 Poznan World Rowing Cup, the 2016 Brandenburg an der Havel European Championships and the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games. At the top of her game, Helen is an expert in maintaining focus while under immense pressure. At the 2024 Paris Olympics, Helen was a flag-bearer at the opening ceremony. She then went on to win a silver medal in the Women's Four.
