About Olivia Wright
Where did you learn to row and who was your first coach?
Emmanuel Boat Club, Peter Twitchett.
What inspires you about sport?
I love seeing progress as I train more and I love feeling strong. In team sports such as rowing I am also inspired my my team mates and the camaraderie that comes with so much training together.
Do you relish in hours in the gym and miles in the dark, or do you live for race days?
I am a big fan of putting on some good music and spending hours in the gym and UT2ing on the erg. Race days make me super nervous!
What's the secret to managing elite-level sport with studying at one of the top universities in the world?
Being very good at time management, but also having to prioritise things and sacrifice some others.
