Spinning Plates Ep 55 - Helen Glover

My Spinning Plates guest this week loves a bright jumper as much as I do! Helen Glover is a two-time gold medal winning rower and a mum to three under threes. She is also the first mother to have qualified for the GB Olympic rowing team. We talked about how lockdown hit when her twins were 6 weeks old and how Helen found herself training at home and then qualifying for the Tokyo Olympics. Quite incredible. She explained how she found her body was actually stronger after giving birth - a discovery which she has since shared with Olympic coaches so that more women might be channelled into Olympic training post-children. She also talked about her love of being outdoors, which she of course shares with her husband Steve Backshall. Listen at:
