COLERAINE’S Olympic gold medal winning rower Hannah Scott pictured at Buckingham Palace today after receiving her MBE awarded in the King’s New Year Honours.
Hannah (25) achieved a lifelong ambition by winning gold at the Paris Olympic Games last summer.
She was part of the Team GB quadruple sculls who became Olympic champions following a dramatic victory over the Netherlands after a photo finish, alongside fellow crew members Georgina Brayshaw, Lola Anderson, and Lauren Henry.
Hannah is only the second woman from Northern Ireland to win gold at the Olympics, following Lady Mary Peters’ gold medal win in the Munich Olympics in 1972.
