About Marek Grzesiuk
Where did you learn to row and who was your first coach?
St Edmund Hall Boat Club, Euan Dickerson.
What inspires you about sport?
Pushing myself beyond what I thought was possible.
Explain your earliest memory of The Boat Race
I hadn't actually heard of The Boat Race until I did my masters at Oxford few years ago when we went to watch it live in London. It was pretty fun.
Do you relish in hours in the gym and miles in the dark, or do you live for race days?
Everyone loves race day but if you don't enjoy the training there isn't much point in doing any of this.
What's the secret to managing elite-level sport with studying at one of the top universities in the world?
Passion and time management.
