Worcester College Boat Club, Max Lau.
What inspires you about sport?
Everyone working together and synchrony making the boat more fast than individual’s strength.
Explain your earliest memory of The Boat Race
I went to see it in second year with some of my friends and loved the atmosphere.
Do you relish in hours in the gym and miles in the dark, or do you live for race days?
I love early morning chatty S&C (strength and conditioning) sessions but races are the best or some side by side pieces at Wallingford.
What's the secret to managing elite-level sport with studying at one of the top universities in the world?
Doing flash cards on the BikeErg.
