Tom started rowing here at Burway when he was 11 and he has had an incredible journey through local regattas to National Championships to representing GB at major events around the world. His major successes include World Cup Bronze Medal at the World Championships in a Single Scull in 2017 and then, in 2021, a fantastic Silver Medal at the Tokyo Olympics in the GB Quad, followed by a Silver Medal from the World Championships. Tom and crew were 4th in the Final of the 2024 Olympics in Paris. More on Tom, here.
