So, what's harder: a 2K ergo or a round of chemo?

There aren't a lot of people who could tell you, but Jean Mitchell is one of them. And turns out, it's a pretty close contest sometimes!

In fact, after being diagnosed with a brain tumour in her last year of high school, it was Jean's experience with grueling rowing training that helped her stick out chemo - and then it was her experience of chemo that helped her commit to the intensity of training once more.

It's amazing to think of the journey Jean went through to make it to Paris, but she takes Bronte and Cate through all of it: how she secretly signed up to rowing in the first place, how it felt to receive her surprise diagnosis, her treatment, her recovery, her return to the sport, the unexpected accommodation that awaited her Paris, why the closing ceremony brought her to tears, and even a spontaneous trip to a tattoo artist for maybe one of the most powerful and symbolic Olympic-related tattoos ever.
