Helen Glover places focus on selection for Team GB

Glover is a member of Reading University Boat Club

Cornish rower Helen Glover is taking nothing for granted as she fights for a place in Great Britain's 2011 squad.

The 24-year-old from Penzance enjoyed a successful 2010, winning a silver medal at the World Championships in her first season with the senior squad.

Glover told BBC Cornwall: "I've got a senior medal from my first World Championships which is great.

"But I must draw a line under it and realise that I may not even be selected so I've got to prove myself."

Glover continued: "You're never safe in your position but I think that's why we do so well in the sport because everyone is always fighting to be in the boat.

"If you go fast you're going to be in a boat, however which boat is up to the coaches."

Glover is now heading out to Majorca to take part in an intensive GB training camp ahead of the final selection weekend in April.

She said: "There's a really nice atmosphere of everyone being competitive against each other, but we have to work together as a team - it's not going to work otherwise."
