Rower won silver medal in ’12

SYDNEY — The Australian Olympic Committee said Thursday that Sarah Tait, who won a silver medal in rowing at the London Olympics, has died of cancer at the age of 33.

Tait, a mother of two, won her silver medal with Kate Hornsey in the women’s pairs at London in 2012. She was a three-time Olympian, competing in the women’s eights at Athens in 2004 and Beijing in 2008.

She was coached by her husband Bill, and at the London Games she was the first mother to row for Australia at the Olympics.
