Description

Emma Twigg is on track for her sixth Olympic Games.  

She’s shifted her attention from flat water rowing to coastal rowing, which makes its debut at the 2028 LA Olympic Games. 

Last week saw her claim the women’s title at the World Rowing Beach Sprint Finals in Turkey, setting her up for a shot at the 2028 Games. 

She told Piney her aim of starting in the sport was to reinvigorate and do something a bit different and challenging. 

“If it’s still me winning in LA, then I’d love to be there, and equally, if someone has surpassed me by that stage, then that would be a real win for the sport as well.”
