This summer, the excitement of the Olympic Games returns to the City of Light, Paris! We have two fantastic athletes competing for Team GB, and we'll be cheering them on every step of the way.
Beth Shriever, our former teaching assistant and reigning Olympic BMX champion, is back to defend her gold medal on 1st and 2nd August.
Imogen Grant, Stephen Perse alumna, will be competing in the lightweight double sculls. After a heart-wrenching 4th place finish by a mere 0.01 seconds at the Tokyo Olympics, she and her rowing partner are determined to reach the podium this year. Since the last Olympics, Imogen has combined with Emily Craig to win ten successive international regattas in the lightweight women’s double sculls. A superb unbeaten run has seen them crowned double world champions, double European champions and World Rowing Crew of the Year in 2023. Their quest for Olympic gold starts on 29th July and runs until 3rd August.
We wish Beth and Imogen the very best of luck in Paris! We will all be watching, cheering them on to victory.
