The wraps can now come off the news that my daughter Pam has officially retired from rowing
She leaves the sport with, for now, a little bit of history on her side, as the most successful Paralympic oarsman ever; the only Rowing competitor to win two gold medals (London 2012 and Rio 2016).
All of which pales into insignificance set against the good wishes conveyed to her by the chit-chat massive over the years.
Thanks everyone for all the messages of support over the years.

Well done to her. Only really followed the sport due to your contributions on here and enjoyed watching. Particularly impressed when she popped up on University Challenge last year. Very talented young lady; she will go far. Good luck Pam.

It can't be easy to retire from competitive sport, but Pam's achievements are immense and will give her great memories and self belief for the future.
All the best to her. |

Oarswoman surely, or even oarsperson?

missing leg?
missing arm? Crocked Shoulder? no, just arthritis that clearly didn't impede her efforts to use her hands and fingers to row to gold twice STEWARDS ENQUIRY ! |

By:
How could you row with one arm ?

What a classy way to bow out. I wish more women would show as much dignity when being replaced by a younger lass with a faster stroke rate.

Brilliant by crisp
And brilliant by Pam My feeble offering - I went out with an oarswoman once. Sadly we drifted apart. |
