Biography

Bourne is from Hauxton in Cambridgeshire and attended Tonbridge School.[1] He later studied at Durham University.[1][2]

At the 2022 World Rowing Championships held in Račice, Czech Republic, Bourne was part of the British crew that won the silver medal in the quadruple sculls event.[3][4] He then switched to the men's single sculls at the 2024 World Rowing Championships, narrowly missing out on qualifying the boat for the Paris Olympics.
