Water and Boat Sports

Erin Kennedy, née Wysocki-Jones and born on 5 August 1992, is a British Paralympic coxswain with the GB Rowing Team. She is a three time world champion, three time European champion and world best time holder in the PR3 mixed coxed four. In 2022 she was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer at the age of 29 and used her platform to raise awareness of early detection while continuing to compete for Great Britain, and she later revealed that she had flown to compete the day after being diagnosed, winning a gold four days later. Her count of Paralympic golds is left open until a source that states it is found.
