About Felix Gibbons
Where did you learn to row and who was your first coach?
On the Jubilee River.
What inspires you about sport?
The desire to go faster, further and the dedication and diligence it takes.
Explain your earliest memory of The Boat Race
Watching it on tv as a kid with an ex-rowing grandparent explaining the history and excitement around it as a race.
Do you relish in hours in the gym and miles in the dark, or do you live for race days?
If you don't put in the work you'll suffer and be slow but if you do you'll still suffer but be fast.
What's the secret to managing elite-level sport with studying at one of the top universities in the world?
Balance and keeping a switch between the two. The studios are for work and the gym/river is for training.
