About Nikolai Juraschko
Where did you learn to row and who was your first coach?
Pembroke College Boat Club.
What inspires you about sport?
The peace of mind and the beautiful sunrises.
Explain your earliest memory of The Boat Race
I don't have one but my grandpa saying he remembers watching it on TV is pretty special to me.
Do you relish in hours in the gym and miles in the dark, or do you live for race days?
Not race day, but that feeling of flying on the water when it's calm.
What's the secret to managing elite-level sport with studying at one of the top universities in the world?
A super tight schedule and optimisation with very little free time.
