British rower Paul Bennett makes his Olympic debut at the Rio 2016 Summer Olympics after winning back-to-back World Championships with the GB Rowing Team men’s eight.

Bennett, 27, had his first race with the eight at the Lucerne World Cup in 2014, where the team won a bronze medal. Since then they've won a European silver and double World Cup gold during a successful 2015. The Oxford Blue is in his fourth season with the senior squad and hopes to continue his winning streak as part of Team GB this summer.
