HANNAH SCOTT

Where learnt to row

Following in the footsteps of Olympic medallists Alan Campbell and brothers Richard and Peter Chambers, Hannah began rowing at Bann Rowing Club, one of the oldest and most successful rowing clubs in Ireland.

Education

Hannah’s journey took her to Princeton University, where she not only excelled academically but also continued rowing at the highest level, becoming two-time Ivy League Champion in the Varsity Eight, as well as captain of Princeton Women’s crew. She also became a two-time silver medallist at U23 World Championships. Her final years at university were disrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic, which opened up an opportunity for Hannah to return to the UK and earn a spot on the British Rowing Team at the delayed Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

Notable performances

In 2023, Hannah became World Champion in the women’s quad.

 

  • At Paris 2024, Hannah won GB’s first ever Olympic gold medal in the Women’s quadruple sculls – with crewmates Georgie BrayshawLola Anderson and Lauren Henry – passing the Netherlands in the very last stroke of the race.
