Having beaten brain cancer to achieve her dream of competing in the Olympics , Australian rower Jean Mitchell is already a winner. The 24-year-old Victorian is part of the women’s four in Paris who will look to emulate the gold medal triumph at the last Games in Tokyo. It’s a new-look crew with Mitchell joining fellow debutante Lily Alton along with Olympia Aldersey and Molly Goodman, who are competing at their third Olympics .

But she didn’t expect any different treatment to her teammates. “I don’t want my path to be easier than everyone else’s otherwise I will feel a bit sad about that, I just like to get on with it.” Alton said Mitchell was an inspiration for their crew but not just for her cancer battle. “Just hearing Jean’s story is incredibly inspiring but also just having the privilege to be able to row with someone who is like who she is as a person,” said Queenslander Alton.
