Martha was part of the Women’s Eight crew that won gold, and the Women’s Four that won bronze, contributing to an impressive medal haul for Team GB during what was described as a “golden hour” of racing.

“The medals were incredible to win, but the best part of racing for me is always the bonding memories and laughs with my teammates.”
