Whatβs it like to hear yourself called an βOlympic greatβ?
Olympic rowing gold medallists Helen Glover and Heather Stanning listened back to the 5 live commentary of their winning moment upon their return from Rio.
They were described as βBritish Olympic greatsβ, with Glover saying: βWe donβt train for those titles, but when someone says it about us it just gets my heart.β
The duo retained their title in the womenβs coxless pairs after also claiming gold in London 2012.
βI think itβs something I saw in people on TV and never considered myself being in a category anywhere close to it - and so itβs just humbling really,β added the double Olympic gold winner.
