Education

[edit | edit source]

Craig has a BA in History of Art from the Courtauld Institute of Art and a MA in East Asian art from the Sotheby's Institute of Art.[1]

Rowing career

[edit | edit source]

Craig was part of the British team that topped the medal table at the 2015 World Rowing Championships at Lac d'Aiguebelette in France, where she won a silver medal as part of the lightweight quadruple sculls with Brianna Stubbs, Ruth Walczak and Eleanor Piggott.[2]

At the 2016 World Rowing Championships in Rotterdam, Craig was part of the gold medal-winning team in the women's lightweight quadruple sculls, along with Brianna Stubbs, Eleanor Piggott and Imogen Walsh.[3][4] She won a bronze medal at the 2019 World Rowing Championships in Ottensheim, Austria as part of the lightweight double sculls with Imogen Grant.[5]

In 2021, she won a European silver medal in the lightweight double sculls in Varese, Italy.[6]

She won a gold medal in the Lightweight Double Sculls at the 2022 European Rowing Championships[7] and the 2022 World Rowing Championships.[8] Craig then retained her titles at the 2023 European Rowing Championships in Bled and the 2023 World Rowing Championships in Belgrade.[9]

Alongside rowing partner Imogen Grant, Craig suffered disappointment at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics,[10] finishing half a second behind the gold medal crew and missing out on a medal by 0.01 seconds.

Olympic gold medal

[edit | edit source]

At the 2024 Paris Olympics, again rowing with partner Imogen Grant, Craig won the gold medal in the same lightweight double sculls category.[11]
