Harry Brightmore (OKS 2012) is World Champion!

Former King’s student Harry Brightmore (OKS 2012) has taken home Gold this weekend after competing in the World Rowing Championships and we couldn’t be prouder!

We were excited to speak to Harry to find out how is feeling after the GB Rowing team topped the medal table, here is what he had to say;

‘’It was a pretty stressful week. We knew the racing would be really tight at the World Championships, all the other nations bring their top performance, and going in as strong favourites added a lot of pressure. We took the race by the scruff of the neck, held on for dear life, and crossing the line was just the biggest wave of relief that we’d done it!’’

When asked if the win had sunk it was clear Harry is already thinking ahead

‘’I am still riding high! But obviously this is just the start of our project. It’s less than two years to the Paris Olympics, and that’s the one that matters!’’

He has our full support and will always be a champion to us.

Congratulations again!
