When Emma Twigg started rowing it was difficult and not always fun. But as she stuck at it, she grew to be a world-class rower. So, winning an Olympic medal would be easy, right? Wrong. This is the remarkable true story of a young New Zealand rower who over twenty years proved she was more than worthy of claiming victory. And how resilience, hard graft, team work and self-belief will ultimately bring home gold.
