Team GB have announced the 42 rowers that will compete at the Paris Olympics, with two-time gold medallist Helen Glover to return for a fourth games.
Twenty-three women and 19 men have been named, including Glover and Tokyo 2020 silver medallist, Tom Barras. Team GB will have 10 boats competing.
After winning gold in the women's coxless pair at London 2012 and Rio 2016, Glover returns three years on from a fourth-placed finish in Japan to join Esme Booth, Sam Redgrave and Rebecca Shorten in the women's four.
Glover also became the first person to row for Great Britain after becoming a mother in Tokyo and is intent on continuing to challenge any pre-conceived ideas around what mothers can do in elite sport after giving birth.
"So quickly you can already see it shifting. There's now another woman who has qualified for the Olympic team [Mathilda Hodgkins Byrne] who has a child. There are women who are talking about having children and coming back in a couple of years," Glover told ESPN.
"Even hearing that conversation, it's already changed in a short period of time. I don't think I heard or was part of a conversation before Rio which included 'I might have a family and carry on.'
"Now it's in the conversation. Having someone else who has had a child and come back as well. From what I've seen from people's feedback [it's] definitely wider than the British Women's Rowing team."
However, Glover will be the first to admit that it is easier said than done.
"I go in and do my two sessions with my team on the water. But then every third session of the day is a land training session. My non-negotiable is I'm going to pick my kids up from school and nursery every day.
"I'll be there waiting with my arms open for them to run into them every day. And I will do my third session on my own. It's not easy, it's a hard way to do it, sometimes it's after the kids' bedtime, sometimes it's literally while I'm making a spaghetti bolognaise, I'm doing squats in between chopping the onions. But it's making it work and realising that there is a way to do it.
"It's a very different way of working in terms of the history of British rowing. I think they've had to be quite flexible and open to it. But then again when you start getting results it gives it that breath of okay it's working."
After finding success in a two-woman crew, Glover is looking forward to a different challenge with a bigger crew in Paris, and is using her wealth of experience to help her teammates.
"Definitely one thing that I did when first came on to the team is I totally looked up to people around me who had been to multiple games," Glover said.
"I remember wanting to sit besides Anna Watkins and Katherine Grainger and be beside them on the rowing machine and see how they acted and what they did. I remember trying to absorb as much information as I could from those people.
The women's four have already tasted success with a strong start to 2024, including gold at the European Championships in April.
The Team GB squad will be looking to improve on their total medal tally of two in Tokyo, having won five in 2016 and nine in 2012.
"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," Team GB Chef de Mission Mark England said.
"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."
