Australian London Olympics silver-medallist rower Sarah Tait has died after a battle with cancer, aged 33.
Tait, who captained Australia’s rowing team at the Beijing Olympics and was in the women’s eight when Sally Robbins famously stopped rowing before the finish of the final in Athens 2004, was diagnosed with cervical cancer in March 2013.
Tait, who is survived by her senior national coach husband Bill and two children, stepped away from rowing in February 2014 to fight the disease.
Tait won her Olympic silver medal in the pairs in 2012.
:( I remember watching their event. R.I.P.
