Rowing Champion Paul Bennett Joins SAS Team

Great Britain’s double world rowing champion and Rio Olympic Games competitor, Paul Bennett, has been appointed as a part-time intern at SAS, the Official Analytics Partner for British Rowing and the GB Rowing Team. Paul will be helping SAS to analyse British Rowing data to help put insights into action.  

The London-born rower is a Mathematics graduate from Kings College, London and later completed a Masters in Computer Science at Oxford University. 

Mark Wilkinson, SAS Regional Vice President – Northern Europe, said: “We have been working closely with British Rowing and the GB Rowing Team since 2014, analysing every facet of the squad’s training regime to help identify where marginal gains can be made to help the boats go faster.    

“We are delighted to have Paul on board to help with our work, as no one at SAS has his expertise when it comes to rowing. His knowledge about the sport can make a real difference too when it comes to interrogating the data and interpreting insights from it, ultimately leading to better decision-making.”
