Coleraine Rower Hannah Scott has become the third Northern Ireland athlete to win Gold at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
Scott claimed a photo finish win ahead of the Netherlands in the Women’s Quadruple Sculls for Team GB.
Richard Archibald, Interim CEO, Sport NI said:
“The gold rush continues with a gold medal for Team GB & NI’s Hannah Scott in the Women’s Quadruple Sculls.
“At Sport NI we send our congratulations to Hannah on her Olympic success. She started her rowing career at the Bann Rowing Club, taking inspiration from 2012 medallists Richard and Peter Chambers and Alan Campbell and we are sure her success will inspire the next generation of rowers in Coleraine and right across Northern Ireland.
“We are proud to have supported Hannah at the start of her career through our National Lottery funded Athlete Award.”
Scott joins swimmers Daniel Wiffen and Jack McMillan as one of three NI athletes to claim Gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
