Episode 003: James Cracknell OBE
The third episode of The Starting Line podcast, with the inspirational James Cracknell OBE.
Two-time Olympic gold medal winner. Six time world champion. Junior world champion.
Add the extensive and impressive list of feats since his Olympic rowing days, which includes rowing the Atlantic with Ben Fogle, finishing as the fastest ever Brit at the time of competing in the gruelling 350km Marathon des Sables and winning The Boat Race for Oxford as the oldest man to ever compete, and James is undoubtedly one of the most incredible athletes Britain’s ever produced.
James was in a coma for 12 days following a near-fatal and life-changing injury in 2010. His road to recovery has been long and continues even today.
