Pamela Relph
At the 2011 World Rowing Championships in Bled, Pamela won Gold in the LTA mixed coxed four with crewmates Naomi Riches, David Smith, James Roe and (cox), Lily van den Broecke
In Munich at the first World Cup of 2011 Pamela raced in one of two GB LTAMix4+ boats to take gold with Germany in 2nd and the other GB boat taking bronze.
Until recently Pamela was on an army scholarship which saw her attend the Defence Sixth Form College Welbeck with a view to joining the Royal Engineers as an engineering officer. When this career path was cut short due to her disability, Pamela saw an opportunity in adaptive rowing which has quickly become her main focus.
She was first introduced to the world of rowing in August 2010 by her older sister Monica who has rowed internationally for GB, and she has progressed well, taking 2nd place at the British Indoor Rowing Championshipos in November 2010 and finishing 4th at the European Indoor Rowing Championships in January this year.
Pamela enjoys participating in many other sports including basketball and rugby, and loves travelling - especially when it gives her the opportunity to surf or ski. Whilst at Birmiingham University she captained the University's award-winning cheerleading squad the Birmingham Pussycats.
Outside sport, she enjoys going to the cinema, reading, spending time with friends and eating out. She hopes to work with animals in the future.
