Description

Zoe McBride was a three-time world champion for rowing.  But her success came at a huge personal toll- physically first in the form of an obsession with her weight, then mentally. 
It all came to a head in April last year when Zoe and her rowing partner, Jackie Kiddle were gearing up for the Tokyo Olympics (where a medal was almost a certainty).  They never made it to the Olympics.  After endless months of wrestling with demons, Zoe made the call to put her physical and mental health first, a move that crushed not only her own Olympic dream, but Jackie’s as well. 
This is the incredible story of Zoe McBride- the world champion rower who prioritized her physical and mental health over likely Olympic glory.
