Rebecca Romero

Rebecca Romero is one of the most astonishing athletes I have read about. Winning an Olympic silver in rowing, then switching to an entirely different sport and claiming gold in track cycling, is almost unheard of. Two summer Olympic medals in two separate disciplines, in different colors no less, places her in genuinely rare historical company. Her 180 cm frame brought real power, but it is the mindset that floors me: after reaching the summit once, she refused to settle and climbed a completely different mountain from scratch. That her hometown of London and an MBE recognized her feels entirely earned. People like her make me sit up straighter.

Rebecca Jayne Romero, (born 24 January 1980) is an English sportswoman, a former world champion and Olympic Games silver medallist in rowing, and a former world and Olympic champion in track cycling.
