Who is Sir Matthew Pinsent's wife Demetra?

Matthew, 53, met Demetra, 50, when he was coaching the Oxford women's Boat Race eights in 1998.

He reportedly slipped her his phone number and the rest is history — they married in 2002. After claiming another Olympic gold medal at Athens 2004, Matthew retired from competitive racing with a view to starting a family, with the couple's twin sons Jonah and Lucas born in 2006, and daughter Eve arriving in 2008. Speaking about his priorities in 2015, Matthew told the Daily Mail: "To provide for our twin sons, who are nine this year, and our daughter, who is seven.

"I think you’d struggle to find any parent who’d say anything else. 

"I’m not talking about saving money for them, just making sure they’re comfortable and well-brought up. That’s the key."
