Rio 2016 Hopefuls and the Coaches that make it happen

 

UK Sport Olympic debrief

I was chomping at the bit to shoot this media briefing for UK Sport because I got to take photos of (and with - YAY!) Katherine Grainger, the most successful British female rower of all time. She's proof of what you can achieve - a 3x silver winner, she pulled off gold at 2012 at the "grand old age" of 37. Roll on 2016 in Rio - fingers crossed Grainger decides to go for it!

Dextro Energy Triathlon

Alistair Brownlee wins the 2011 Dextro Energy Triathlon in London's Hyde Park. And there was further celebration for the British team as Alistair’s younger brother Jonathan produced a strong finish to collect bronze despite the torrential downpours. The elite races were backed once again by UK Sport who commissioned these pics - enjoy the browse!
