Favourite subject at A Level, I find it interesting

Magdalen College BC, Michaelmas 22 (my first term). It was an amazing opportunity to start a new sport at a complete novice level and I love other water sports. I like how technical rowing is and being part of a crew drives you to push harder than you thought you could.

Magdalen College BC, Ollie Hedges

Jess Ennis London 2012
How has rowing and being part of the Boat Race squad impacted your life?
