You wait all year for a returning Olympian guest on Broken Oars Podcast and two come along at once ...

Following on from catching up with Jack Beaumont, Broken Oars Podcast is joined (again) by (strawberry-blonde) rowing legend Andrew Triggs-Hodge, three-time Olympic champion and finest stroke of his generation (no, Matthew, you can't argue. You were the generation before).

A late night chat of an episode due to it being recorded late at night and while Hodge was recovering from Covid, we talk about the Centurion challenge, Andy's work with London Youth Rowing, the significant challenges facing British Rowing as a participation and performance sport, the future of club rowing in Britain at a time of declining participation, the madness inherent in letting Jurgen go one year out from an Olympics, and at a time when the governance of the sport is up for grabs and the implementation of the Elite programmes still to be decided ... what next for Britain's most successful Olympic sport?

I've two words for you British Cycling. You can choose from Richard Freeman or Jiffy Bag. Stern four, coming in with Bow four, next stroke ... because we're literally all in this boat together.
