Phillip Wilson has jumped ship from singles to pairs.

The rower took the gold in the Men’s 8s at the Tokyo Olympics, but has made the decision to compete in the pairs at Paris this year.

He chatted with Piney about his previous success and whether he feels the pressure of Hamish Bond and Eric Murray, who were undefeated in that boat.

“You kind of have to not compare yourself to them, but you do have it in the back of your mind.”
