Rachel Yankey MBE is the most capped footballer for the England wonmen's team, and played in the opening win for Team GB against New Zealand in Cardiff on Thursday.
Rachel Cawthorne will compete in the K1 and K4 boats at the Sprint Canoe regatta. Rachel became the first British sprint canoer to win a medal at a World Championships, collecting bronze in 2010. Last year the K4 girls came fourth at the Worlds, and have a great chance of going at least one step better with the added pull of the home crowd!
Unfortunately no Rachel has ever won an Olympic medal for Britain, but American Rachel Buehler won a gold medal in the women's football tournament in Beijing. Here's Rachel with her medal:
She played in several games, but lived up to her family's reputation by taking a day off for the final.
