Commonwealth Games To Power Tugging Rowing Champion - Chris Scott | The Big Lad Podcast #51

#51

In this episode I'm joined by Chris Scott, a Commonwealth Games finalist for England in the discus turned "Power Tugging" Rowing European Indoor Champion. We discuss the feeling of putting on that uniform and representing the country to the heartbreak of a back injury putting him out of the London 2012 Olympics. When then talk about his anger towards the Great British Athletics board for recent events and issue and then how Chris re-found his passion for rowing and using this as a way to overcome his inability to compete at the discus and how he became European Indoor Rowing champion, breaking a few world records along the way.
