Olympic Champion Katherine Grainger marked her international comeback with a Bronze medal as Britain won six golds at European Rowing Championships in Poznan this weekend.
The Scot, who had not raced since winning gold at London 2012, partnered Vicky Thornley to third in the double sculls behind Poland and Lithuania.
“We really are a work in progess, but to get on the podium is a start,” the 39-year-old told BBC Sport.
Britain won a total of 6 gold, two silvers and 2 bronze to claim 10 medals in Poland. See all the BBC reports and footage from the weekend here.
