LAUREN ROWLES made history today as Great Britain celebrated its greatest day of Paralympic rowing by grabbing three golds and a silver in Paris.

Benjamin Pritchard launched a dominant British display on the water with PR1 single sculls glory before Rowles became the sport’s first female triple champion with victory alongside Gregg Stevenson in the PR2 mixed doubles.

Breast cancer survivor Erin Kennedy steered home the formidable PR2 mixed coxed four team of Frankie Allen, Giedre Rakauskaite, Josh O’Brien and Ed Fuller to complete GB’s most successful rowing performance at the Games after Sam Murray and Annie Caddick were second in the PR3 mixed double sculls.
