Thanks @worldrowing for the article 🚣🏿♀️
Search for Jim Walker on the internet, and it won’t be about rowing. Despite his list of rowing successes, the World Championship medallist and three-time Olympian has moved on from his former sporting life. https://t.co/k2DX8UFKVZ

My latest article on the Olympic Games and the disappointing Tokyo Rowing results and how losing the mighty coach Jürgen Gröbler has been significant but perhaps not quite as important as others are now making out. https://t.co/mauHLOxftR via @csquiremagazine

.@GabbyLogan 4th is not the cruellest place in Olympic Sport. It really isn’t. It’s 4th in the Olympic Games. It might represent an all time personal highlight. Lets see if we can get another received wisdom about 4th going...

Why stop there. Refund all non-winning lottery tickets and call it quits. Accountability is important and there will be funding consequences. But it doesn’t work like that…
@J1mWalker as long as the rowers hand back all the money theyve had we can call it quits

On the penultimate of day of the #Olympic #Rowing regatta, some thoughts on the #GBRowingTeam results so far. My perspective is as a step-mum supporting an athlete, but also as an Olympic Selector for the team, two perspectives https://t.co/AujyYAcLw5

Hopefully the debate on GBR performance at the rowing includes an opportunity to reflect on the arbitrary cut-offs between the value of bronze & 4th, top 6 and 6-12. Yes that’s the game, but compared to 1st vs not 1st, it is 100% an invented one.
@RowingVoice @graemercoleman Indeed I have. This is the breakdown for all countries with 5 or more boats. Obviously countries like NZL & AUS have done exceptionally well in converting finalists into medal, whereas GB had 75% of finalists finish 4th

@guardian To keep things in context, whilst the overall medal tally is disappointing, GB got 8 out of 10 boats into A-Finals and all of those 8 finished 4th or higher. We also saw GB win its 1st ever M4X Olympic medal and the best ever finish in the W1X.

As always, thoughts with the British Rowers. At home, be mindful enough not to judge from your comfortable, pain-and-pressure free sofas. I don’t blame them for anything done or said. I’ve seen nothing but extraordinary determination, dedication and passion. Onwards

Sat in a TGI Friday’s in Charleston, South Carolina with an old 4+ hanging over us. I think it’s from 🇬🇧, maybe @FurnivallSC ? Not sure how it made its way here…

Having discovered these in Lisbon two days ago, this being promoted in my feed is either synchronicity or my phone stalking me....
The centuries-old Portuguese treat has become a global brand, and a very modern marketing machine is pushing it. https://t.co/ov2x377QxK
