'I was in a coma and paralysed at 15 – now I'm competing in my first Olympics'

Georgie Brayshaw, who will compete in the rowing quadruple sculls at the Paris Olympics 2024, was left paralysed after a horrifying accident when she was younger

Team GB rower Georgie Brayshaw was involved in a terrifying accident that left her partially paralysed 15 years ago.

However, her recovery and transition to high-level sports demonstrate her resilience. Georgie recalled the terrifying incident that happened when she was out riding her horse with her friends, aged just 15 years old. Georgie said her brain has "completely blocked out" the traumatic memory. The trauma left Georgie paralysed on her left side for about a year, but her family were resolute that she would regain as much strength as possible.
