This week, Fergus and Ed sit down with the parents of the GB Rowers racing out in Tokyo. We're joined by Peter Beaumont (Jack's Dad), Trish McKellar (Rowan's Mum), Gina Thornley (Vicky's Mum) and Stuart Thomas (Graeme's Dad). We hear all about life as a British Rowing Supporter, hear the story of Jack and Graeme's medical substitution at Rio from their Dads' perspective and learn all about some of their favourite venues from around the world.
