After finishing second an agonising three Olympics in succession, British rower Katherine Grainger has finally taken gold at her home games.
She and new partner Anna Watkins won gold in the double sculls to break Grainger’s 12 year hoodoo, making them the second British female rowers to take gold so far.
She deserves huge adulation for continuing to come back when others might have thrown the oar in, I think I can safely say that’s one gold medal definitely earned.
