    A last chance looms for Olympic champion rower Emma Twigg to swing the oars at a Games


    The 37-year-old retired after the Rio edition but returned to the single sculls two years later - she eventually triumphed at Tokyo.

    Twigg first competed at elite international level in the eight during 2006.
