Northern Ireland’s Olympic hero, Hannah Scott, has expressed her determination to inspire young girls to stay involved in sports as she reflects on the honor of being made an MBE. The gold medal-winning rower from Coleraine was a key member of Team GB’s women’s quadruple sculls crew, which secured a dramatic victory at the Paris Olympics.
The thrilling final took place at the Vaires-sur-Marne Nautical Stadium, where Scott and her teammates delivered a stunning performance. In a nail-biting finish, the British crew surged ahead of the Netherlands in the last stroke, clinching gold and etching their names in Olympic history.
Speaking about her achievement and recognition, Scott shared her pride not only in the historic win but also in the platform it provides to encourage young girls to pursue sports. “It’s an incredible honor to be made an MBE,” she said, “but more importantly, I want to use this moment to show girls that they can achieve great things if they stick with the sport.”
Scott’s journey to Olympic gold is a testament to perseverance, teamwork, and dedication. Her story serves as an inspiration to young athletes, particularly girls who may face challenges in staying engaged with sports.
The recognition of her contributions to rowing and her advocacy for youth participation underscores her impact beyond the waters. By sharing her experiences and passion, Scott aims to motivate the next generation of athletes to dream big and remain committed to their goals.
As an Olympic champion and now an MBE, Hannah Scott’s legacy is not just in her triumphs on the global stage but also in her efforts to empower and uplift future sporting stars.
