After the joy of being selected for her third Olymic Games, it has been back to work for Debbie Flood this week.
The Guiseley rower has been busy preparing for this weekend’s final World Cup meeting of the year in Munich.
Flood, who competed in the women’s eight at the last World Cup in Lucerne last month, will be racing in her Olympic event the women’s quad.
The 31-year-old, who won silver medals at the Athens and Beijing Olympics in the quad, will be joined in Munich and the Olympics by Melanie Wilson, Beth Rodford and Frances Houghton.
GB Rowing team performance director David Tanner has stated that Britain's Games’ ambition is to equal the tally of six medals won in Beijing.
And he will be eyeing the competition in Munich as a final staging post for a team he has described as “certainly the strongest team the GB Rowing Team has ever put on the water.”
