Rhiannon Jones
Rhiannon coxed one of two GB LTAMix4+ boats at the first World Cup of 2011 in Munich where she won a bronze medal with crewmates Luke Almond, Kelsie Gibson, Kate Jones and Ryan Chamberlain.
At the 2010 World Rowing Championships on Lake Karapiro in New Zealand, Rhiannon coxed the British mixed adaptive coxed four to a silver medal. They had narrowly led the race until the dying 100m when the Canadians surged to take the lead, crossing the line four-tenths of a second ahead of the Brits to win gold. Germany took the bronze.
Earlier in the season at the first World Cup in Bled Rhiannon coxed the LTAMix4+ to a gold medal. This followed the two gold medals won by this boat at the Varese International Adaptive Regatta in May.
Rhiannon's father taught her to scull when she was 10 years of age. She raced in a double at junior level but then decided she would be more successful as a cox.
Rhiannon was the cox of the adaptive mixed coxed four who won gold at the 2009 World Championships in Poznan; this success achieved by a crew with two rowers and their cox completely new to World Level rowing until that year. She had already coxed the boat at the Munich World Cup winning gold.
She graduated from Reading University with a degree in Psychology.
Rhiannon is Lottery Funded through UK Sport.
