George Bourne profile image

Despite finding rowing relatively late (George was identified by the GB Start scheme in his last year at school) George has always had a huge passion for sports.

Long distance running in particular played a consistent role in his life from 8 years old to 18 and George represented Dorset, Surrey and Kent in cross-country before finding rowing.

George was in the same school year as current international stars Zak Crawley (cricket) and Ben Earl (rugby) and hopes to make a small contribution to the sporting successes of his Tonbridge year group. George has been a consistent feature in the men’s quad so far this Olympiad, winning silver at the 2022 World Rowing Championships and qualifying the boat for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
