PLYMOUTH rowers Jacob Dawson and Chloe Brew will compete at a second successive Olympic Games.

The duo were today named as part of a 42-strong Team GB rowing squad for this summer’s Paris Olympics.

Former Plymstock School pupil Dawson will again be part of the GB men’s eight crew. He won a bronze medal in that boat at the Tokyo Games.

Ex-Coombe Dean pupil Brew competed in the women’s eight in Japan, but this time around she will compete in the women’s pairs with Rebecca Edwards.

Also named in the GB rowing squad is Cornwall’s double Olympic champion Helen Glover.

Team GB chef de mission Mark England said: “Team GB has an impressive Olympic tradition in rowing, and I am delighted to welcome the 42 rowers that have been selected today for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

“The Olympic experience in this squad is huge, and I have no doubt it will be an asset to the 21 rowers who will make their Olympic debut in Paris this summer.

“Team GB is also set to include more women than men in the team for a second successive Games and it is fantastic to see two mothers, Helen Glover and Mathilda Hodgkins Byrne, named as part of the team today.

“Our rowers have posted some outstanding results this season and I am sure the crews will relish the opportunity to showcase their talent in front of their friends, family, and Team GB fans as they race the Olympic course at the National Olympic Nautical Stadium of Île-de-France in Paris this July.”
