INSIDE TRACK
GB cox and regular Row360 writer Zoe De Toledo returns from Rio with a historic silver medal in the women’s eight, the team’s first Olympic medal of any colour in the event.

We came to Rio to win the Olympic Games, there is no doubt about that, but we also knew that any place on the podium would be a groundbreaking first for a GB women’s eight.
