Long climb for gold

Former Sunshine Beach resident Hannah Every-Hall has her sights set on Olympic Gold.
Hannah, who now rows out of the Canberra Rowing Club, has once again been selected in the Australian team to contest the Olympic qualifying regatta in Lucerne and the world cup events in Lucerne and Poznan, Poland.
Successful qualification at Lucerne will mean that she will contest the women’s lightweight double scull at the Rio Olympics.
Hannah left her much-loved Sunshine Beach home in 2010 to row at the Australian Institute of Sport and won two world championships in the early years of the century.
In 2012 Hannah was selected to compete in the lightweight women’s double for Australia in the London Olympics where they finished fifth in the final.
Although Hannah now lives in Canberra she maintains a close contact with the local Lake Macdonald Rowing Club, of which she is a member.
