Helen Glover is gearing up to be the Team GB flagbearer at the opening ceremony for the Olympic Games in Paris this Friday.
The two-time Olympic champion, who will once again be competing in the rowing this year, will be joined by fellow Olympian Tom Daley as they lead the way of highly decorated athletes all hoping to win while representing Great Britain.
Away from the 38-year-old's impressive sporting career, however, she's kept busy with her family life. The world champion is a mother to three children, Logan, aged six, and four-year-old twins, Kit and Willow.

Speaking recently to the Evening Standard, the athlete opened up about juggling her busy career with her home life: "It's never-ending, but everything is relentless as parents, no matter whether you have got a busy job or you’re a stay-at-home parent."
She added: "I'm just throwing another thing into the mix that is maybe a bit more physically exhausting than some other jobs. Some days it runs smoothly, but it doesn’t take much for a child to have a temperature or to forget their shinpads for football."
To see a glimpse of a typical day in the Backshall-Glover household, watch the video below.
Helen occasionally shares photos of her family on her social media, and it seems they are her biggest cheerleaders.

Helen is a professional rower so certainly has the upper body strength to be able to carry all three children on the back of her bike!
