Katherine Grainger has become the most decorated female British Olympian ever, winning womens double sculls silver with Vicky Thornley at Rio 2016.On a stunning morning at the Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas, the 40-year-old wrote her name into the record books by winning a fifth medal to move ahead of swimmer Rebecca Adlington.Grainger was only just unable to retain the gold won with Anna Watkins at London 2012, but securing silver with Thornley at the age of 40 is a remarkable feat.It is another silver for Grainger having also finished second at Sydney 2000, Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008. This one comes less than two years after returning to the sport having completed a PhD in the sentencing of homicide at Kings College London.The journey to Brazil has been bumpy, with the 40-year-old and 28-year-old Thornley deciding to abandon the double sculls project midway through the season, only to reform having failed to qualify for seats in the eight.Their selection in the double sculls was confirmed a month and a half ago and the duo have impressed in Rio, finishing second in both the heats and semifinals at the Lagoa.Things started brightly in the final as they crossed the 500m mark in the lead, which was stretched to 0.64 seconds over the Polish crew at the halfway point.It was nip and tuck for a while, only for Grainger and Thornley to open up a 1.25secs lead heading into the final stretch. However, Polands Magdalena Fularczyk-Kozlowska and Natalia Madaj were able to kick on to grab gold, with the British crew finishing an agonising 0.95s behind.Grainger told BBC One: Its one of those races at the start of the regatta youd have taken with both hands because we led most of the way. It was a little tinge of what might have been.Considering what weve been through the last couple of years, Im so proud of what weve done. Its a medal that not many would have put money on so Im pleased.Thornley added: Im so thankful to Katherine that she did such a good job in that race. It was really quite a big headwind and Im not sure what happened at the end and it just got a bit tight or whatever. Im just a bit lost for words if Im honest. Its a bit of a whirlwind.The British pair led with 200 metres to go but Grainger did not get over-confident of victory, saying: I dont think you ever think youre going to win it. I knew we were ahead and I knew we were feeling good and then we just came down so quickly and you draw on every element youve got and every bit of experience youve got.It wasnt quite enough in the end but we put so much into the race to make sure we were in that position. I dont think we could have done anymore.I thought if I could come out with a medal of any kind here it would be my greatest achievement. There were many, many dark days. So to stand here with a medal around our necks makes it all worthwhile. Todd Helton Jersey .
