Olympic rower Georgina Brayshaw says people doubted she would walk again

“Last night I couldn’t believe it, I was just in the sky,” she told the BBC.

“This morning, I woke up at 05:00 and I had to touch my medal to know it actually happened and now it’s sinking in.”

Brayshaw, who started her Team GB journey at a rowing club in Leeds, explained she did not take up the sport until she was an adult, preferring horse-riding as a child.

“I was horse mad from the age of seven to when the accident happened,” she said.

“I’m very lucky to be where I am today but people doubted that I would ever walk or feed myself again.

“I just wasn’t about that, I like to prove people wrong so I’ve worked really hard to get where I am with extra bits of training. It’s all paid off.”
