2013 Female Crew of the Year: Kim Crow (AUS)

Kim Crow became the darling of the Australian team following her two-medal haul at the 2012 London Olympics – in the women’s double sculls and the women’s single. Then Crow, 28, went on to show that she’s no one-season-wonder by fighting her way into the 2013 season following an injury and winning every race that she entered. At this year’s World Rowing Championships Crow became a World Champion for the first time, beating Olympic Champion Mirka Knapkova in the process.
