EVENT: Women's Double Sculls
Brooke Francis (nee Donoghue) won an Olympic silver medal in the Women's Double Sculls alongside boatmate Hannah Osborne at the Tokyo 2020 Games.
Racing in hot conditions at Tokyo's Sea Forrest Waterway, Francis and Osborne finished second behind Romania in a time of 6m 44.82s.
Tokyo was Francis' debut Olympics. She began rowing in 2010 at Mercer Rowing Club and made her international debut at the junior level in 2013.
She made her elite debut in 2016 in the Women's Quadruple Sculls and came painfully close to qualifying for the Rio Olympics. She won the 2019 World Championships in the double alongside Olivia Loe.
