Olympic gold medalist Katherine Grainger spoke to Today ahead of her first race since 2012, the European World Rowing Championships in Poland this weekend. "Every athlete at the top level gets nervous, no matter how many times you've done it, because it matters, because it's a big deal" "It feels like it's all starting anew...it's like forming any new team... I'm 6ft but Vicky is over 6ft 3in so it takes time to get used to each other."
