Listen Later

In this episode of Last Stroke Counts, we sit down with an Olympic silver medallist, double Olympian, winner of the Youth Olympics, World Championship medallist, 9 times back-to-back Henley Royal Regatta winner, former Leander Club captain and a legend of the sport - Jack Beaumont.


Jack talks us through his rowing career, highlighting his training habits, mindset, and what it took to be a top competitor. He discusses always pushing levels above and breaking through any barriers, which is what allowed him to compete at every stage internationally and have an incredibly successful career.


He opens up about his major accident before the Rio Olympics, where he broke several bones in his spine and tore a hip muscle, providing us with insight into his inspiring recovery and his ultimate participation in the world's biggest sporting event all within a 12-month period.


We also explored the challenges that the GB Rowing Team faced between the Rio and Tokyo Olympics, where British athletes came home with seven 4th place finishes and what that was like from behind the scenes, as well as competing during a typhoon, pandemic and halfway across the world.


So, tune in, buckle up and join us for this special episode with Jack Beaumont, as we delve into his journey and explore the tales, the laughs, and the honest reflections from an Olympic medallist at the stage where every last stroke truly counts.
