Rowing career

She won the single sculls title rowing for Trent Polytechnic, at the 1986 National Championships[3] and the following year she repeated the success but this time rowing for the Nottinghamshire County Rowing Association.[4] In 1989 she won the coxed four and lightweight coxless four national titles at the 1989 National Championships.[5]

She was selected to represent Great Britain in the women's eight event at the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona. The team which consisted of Hirst, Fiona Freckleton, Philippa Cross, Dot Blackie, Susan Smith, Kate Grose, Kareen Marwick, Katharine Brownlow and Alison Paterson finished in seventh place.[6]

gollark: `gsub` actually returns multiple values. Because Lua, since it's the last thing passed to that function, `table.insert` is passed the string it returns and a number from it. `table.insert` has an overload where it takes `(table, position, value)` or something instead of `(table, value)`.
gollark: The alternative to having it be a GPS server thing would be per-dimension "dimservers" or something providing the dimension name (and possibly server name and metadata), which could work too I guess.]
gollark: The main problem I envision is that I haven't worked out a standard for dimension naming, so it just uses the one it receives the most fixes containing, which can be basically anything the GPS servers want, and that it won't function reliably without a large amount of dimension-enabled GPS servers.
gollark: I've patched dimension support into the GPS libraries in potatOS and my trilaterating GPS server. Would people be interested in dimension support in GPS and/or should I PR it into CC: Tweaked?
gollark: `shell.exit()`
