World, Olympic and now European champion - rowing star Helen Glover wins another title with Polly Swann

World and Olympic champion rower Helen Glover completed her title collection when she won European Championships gold with Polly Swann in Belgrade on Sunday. Victory in the women's pair was never in doubt as Minerva Bath rower Glover and Swann crossed the line in a new European record time of 7mins 3.62secs, some seven seconds clear of nearest challengers Romania. It continued a perfect record for the GB Rowing Team duo, who won all of their World Cup races and the World Championships during 2013. Glover famously joined forces with University of Bath graduate Heather Stanning - who missed the Europeans through fatigue - to win Team GB's first gold medal of the London 2012 Olympic Games. The men's four of Andrew Triggs Hodge, George Nash, Mohamed Sbihi and Alex Gregory also led from start to finish to win Britain's other gold in Belgrade. Four silvers and two bronze ensured Britain topped the medal table.
