Roger Barrow [national]

In October 2017 he was diagnosed with compartment syndrome in his right arm and underwent surgery. He resumed training in April 2018. (rekord.co.za, 07 Sep 2018)

He took up rowing at St Andrews College in Grahamstown, South Africa. (RowingChat YouTube channel, 14 Apr 2021; brave2row.com, 01 Jan 2017)

"I was terrible at ball sports at school, so I thought why not pick up an oar, go to a nature reserve and row on a dam every single day? It sounded like a much better option, so that's how I started." (RowingChat YouTube channel, 14 Apr 2021)

Competing at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. (brave2row.com, 29 Jan 2018)

"What I love about rowing is that there are always a lot of data available as to who makes the boat go faster. This to me creates a noble drive always to strive to be the best you can be. There can never be resting on one's laurels, and I love it." (rekord.co.za, 07 Sep 2018)
