GB Rowing team are going to great lengths to avoid repeating disappointing performance of Tokyo Games
For British rower Tom Barras, his time at the Tokyo Olympics brings back a lot of happy memories. It was in the waters of Tokyo Bay that his long-held dream became reality when his crew secured a silver medal in the men’s quadruple scull. “Being part of the first team to go and win an Olympic medal in the quad, if I’m being honest and selfish, was a really cool thing to go and do”, he said. “It was quite an amazing experience.
Some also blamed a clunky transition following the departure in 2018 of legendary performance director David Tanner, who had led the team for more than two decades. His replacement had excelled in canoeing rather than rowing. Adding to the disruption, the head of the men’s team, famed German rowing coach Jürgen Gröbler, stepped down when the Tokyo Games were pushed back 12 months to the summer of 2021 because of the pandemic.
