    Olympic rowing gold medallist Grace Prendergast is preparing to try something new


    The 30-year-old, who won gold in the pair with Kerri Williams and silver in the eight at Tokyo, is retiring.

    She also won The Boat Race on the Thames while completing a masters of philosophy at Cambridge University this year and a fifth world championship title, again with Williams, in the Czech Republic last month.

    Prendergast gives a hint as to what's next.
