ABERDEEN’S Katherine Grainger has refused to be drawn on whether her London 2012 triumph will be her last race.
After three successive silvers at the Olympics, the 36-year-old finally got the gold she craved so badly.
Grainger and partner Anna Watkins powered to victory in the double sculls, with Australia trailing in second and Poland a distant third.
The Scot has come a long way since learning to row on the River Dee.
This latest success is unquestionably the highlight of a storied career, that included six golds at World Championships.
But whether it will be her last victory remains to be seen.
Grainger said: “The whole journey has been up to this point and we haven’t thought beyond it.
“We are just going to enjoy the moment.”
