In this episode of Last Stroke Counts, we are joined by the remarkable Imogen Grant who’s an Olympian plus a double World & European Champion and multiple Boat Race winner for the Light Blues. Outside of the sport, she’s a Cambridge alumna and a qualified doctor. Imogen's journey is a testament to her unparalleled dedication and talent in both academics and athletics.

Her story is nothing less than extraordinary, narrowly missing an Olympic medal by a mere 0.01 seconds in a heartbreaking race, she’s hoping to showcase her incredible speed and resilience at next year’s games.
