Double Olympic champion and mother of three Glover heading to Tokyo

LONDON: Britain's double Olympic rowing champion Helen Glover secured her ticket to Tokyo on Wednesday as a 34-year-old mother of three and said it felt like the biggest achievement of her career.

Glover won coxless pairs gold at the London 2012 and Rio de Janeiro 2016 Games with now-retired Heather Stanning and has paired up with Polly Swann, who won silver with the women's eight in 2016. "Today's announcement is something that when I first thought about a comeback was just like 'Oh, that's a nice dream to have'," Glover told reporters. "It didn't feel like it was going to happen.
