Eve Stewart

Eve is a British expat born and raised in the Netherlands who spent her formative years dreaming of the Olympics and cheering for Britain in all manner of sporting events.

This was always done with her sports fanatic grandmother Pat Stewart, also known as ‘the Blackpool belle’, by her side.

At the age of 18, Eve headed for a local rowing club along the Amsterdam canals. Things moved swiftly from there and Eve acquired a Dutch passport in 2015 alongside her original British one to represent the Netherlands on the international stage.

While Eve loved life as a ‘Dutchie’, she could never quite shake the feeling of being a British girl in a Dutch boat and secretly hankered after a place on the GB Rowing Team. When a serious injury imposed an unexpected pause with Dutch rowing some time later, Eve packed her bag and headed to Henley.

Fast forward two and a half years and Eve has lived the dream that she and her grandmother once had. Now a proud Olympic medalist for Team GB, Eve is gearing up for another exciting racing season with British Rowing.

Eve studied English and Creative writing at the University of Iowa, and intends to pursue a career in sports media.
