Imogen Grant, who won gold in Paris, is now training to gain weight and muscle for open-weight rowing in the LA 2028 Olympics. She's boosting her daily calorie intake to around 3,500-4,000 on a vegan diet to compete against larger athletes. Grant hopes to show that smaller rowers can still succeed, having already won World Cup gold this year.
