About this listen

Today, Leah is joined by rower Becky Wilde.

After growing up as a competitive swimmer, in her late teens, she made the decision to start rowing after being inspired by the likes of Helen Glover and Heather Stanning. Making the move has paid off for Becky as last summer she claimed Bronze at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, with her partner Mathilda Hodgkins-Byrne.

It has been a rollercoaster of a career for Becky over the last few years. As well as a change in sport, she’s also undergone two major surgeries including 1 just 10 weeks before Olympic trials. Becky talked me through the physical and mental toll that these took and how her Mathilda went into the games as underdogs and how great it felt to end this summer on the podium.
