About Helen Glover OBE

Helen Glover OBE is one of Britain’s most decorated athletes, a double Olympic champion, triple World champion, and quadruple European champion in rowing. She made history by winning Team GB’s first-ever gold medal at the London 2012 Olympics. She cemented her legacy by retaining her title at the Rio 2016 Games alongside Heather Stanning in the women’s pairs.

Remarkably, Helen became the first British mother to row at the Olympics, competing in Tokyo just 18 months after the birth of her twins. She continued to make headlines at the Paris 2024 Olympics, where she won silver in the Women’s Four and served as a Team GB flag bearer, solidifying her status as the most successful female rower in British history.

Introduced to rowing at 22 through the Sporting Giants talent scheme, Helen’s rapid ascent to elite status epitomises resilience and determination. From her unbeaten streak with Heather Stanning to her record-breaking performances, she embodies teamwork, meticulous preparation, and goal-setting, all principles she translates into inspiring and impactful talks.

As a motivational speaker, Helen captivates audiences with her journey of overcoming challenges, balancing motherhood and elite sports, and achieving success against the odds. Her powerful storytelling, authenticity, and humility make her a sought-after speaker for corporate events, schools, and organisations seeking to inspire resilience and ambition.

Away from rowing, Helen’s adventurous spirit has seen her win the Devizes to Westminster ultra-endurance kayak race, qualify for the Ironman World Championships, and explore global environmental issues alongside her husband, Steve Backshall. For those seeking a speaker who exemplifies excellence, perseverance, and the power of teamwork, Helen Glover OBE is the perfect choice.
