About Martha Meadows

Where did you learn to row and who was your first coach?

King's College, Dylan Whitaker.

What inspires you about sport?

The adrenaline from realising that it can be anybody's race on the day, including yours! You can put nine vastly different people in a boat - different personalities, backgrounds, and strengths - and if they share the same commitment, you can achieve anything.

Explain your earliest memory of The Boat Race

Being around 12 years old and stumbling across it on TV.

Do you relish in hours in the gym and miles in the dark, or do you live for race days?

Race days!

What's the secret to managing elite-level sport with studying at one of the top universities in the world?

Lots of sleep and half-priced sushi.
