A Team GB rower has spoken about the "non-stop" rehab process that led to her winning an Olympic medal, just 10 months after arm surgery.

Becky Wilde, from Taunton in Somerset, represented her country for the first time in Paris, competing in the Women's doubles sculls.

She and her partner Mathilda Hodgkins-Byrne came away with a bronze medal, despite Ms Wilde having surgery on both arms to treat compartment syndrome.
