About Daniel Orton
Where did you learn to row and who was your first coach?
Latymer Upper School, Kieran Brown.
What inspires you about sport?
The whole squad.
Explain your earliest memory of The Boat Race
Going down to the river to watch the race with my family - at that age I had no idea what Oxford, Cambridge, or rowing were.
Do you relish in hours in the gym and miles in the dark, or do you live for race days?
Definitely race days! (Coxing in the pitch black is never fun.)
What's the secret to managing elite-level sport with studying at one of the top universities in the world?
Power naps.
