Grainger takes bronze in six-medal haul

Katherine Grainger rounded off her international comeback with a bronze medal in the European Rowing Championships at the weekend.

The 39-year-old, who won Olympic gold at London 2012, was one of 10 medallists for Great Britain in Poland.

Grainger recently returned to action following a two-year absence and went on to partner Vicky Thornley to a bronze medal in the double sculls final, while Poland and Lithuania took gold and silver respectively.

"We really are a work in progess, but to get on the podium is a start," Grainger told BBC Sport.

Overall, GB won six golds, two silvers and two bronze medals, while Helen Glover and Heather Stanning set a new European record in the women's pairs in Poznan.
