Rower - Para-Rowing Squad
Club: Worcester Rowing Club
Hometown: Birmingham
Lauren is the greatest Para Rower of all time.
She won gold at both Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020 in the PR2 Mixed Double Sculls with Laurence Whiteley and again with her next partner, former Royal Engineer Commando, Gregg Stevenson, in Paris 2024. Lauren and Gregg qualified their boat for the 2024 Paralympic Games at the 2023 World Rowing championships in a World Best Time (WBT) of 08:00.57 – the third WBT of their debut season. They went on to beat that time in their heat in Paris.
