Kirsty Young's castaway is the Olympian and rower, Dame Katherine Grainger. A six-time rowing World Champion across a variety of classes, her silver medal at Rio in 2016 made her the most successful female British Olympic athlete ever, having won medals in five consecutive games.

Born in Glasgow in 1975, her parents were teachers. At school she earned a black belt in karate, and it wasn't until she went to Edinburgh University that her passion for rowing was truly ignited. Winning silver medals at the Sydney, Athens and Beijing Olympics, Katherine finally ceased to be the sport's eternal bridesmaid when, with her partner Anna Watkins, she won gold in the Double Sculls at the 2012 London Olympics. After two years away from the sport, Katherine returned in 2014, to win her fourth silver and fifth overall Olympic medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics with her new partner, Vicky Thornley.

Alongside her sporting achievements, she gained an Honours degree in Law from Edinburgh, a Masters in Medical Law from Glasgow University and was awarded a PhD in Homicide Sentencing from King's College London in 2013. She was made the fourth Chancellor of Oxford Brookes University in 2015 and became a Dame in the 2017 New Year Honours.



奥林匹克运动员和赛艇运动员凯瑟琳-格林格女士。她是六次获得各种级别的赛艇世界冠军，2016年里约奥运会的银牌使她成为有史以来最成功的英国女运动员，连续五次获得奖牌。

1975年出生在格拉斯哥，她的父母是教师。在学校，她获得了空手道黑带，直到她去了爱丁堡大学，才真正点燃了她对划船的热情。凯瑟琳在悉尼、雅典和北京奥运会上赢得了银牌，当她与她的搭档安娜-沃特金斯在2012年伦敦奥运会上赢得双桨项目的金牌时，她终于不再是这项运动永远的伴娘了。在离开这项运动两年后，凯瑟琳于2014年重返赛场，在2016年里约奥运会上与她的新搭档维基-索恩利一起赢得了她的第四枚银牌和第五枚奥运会总奖牌。

在取得体育成就的同时，她还获得了爱丁堡大学的法律荣誉学位，格拉斯哥大学的医学法硕士学位，并在2013年获得了伦敦国王学院的凶杀案判罚博士学位。2015年，她被任命为牛津布鲁克斯大学的第四任校长，并在2017年的新年荣誉中成为贵妇。
