With this feat, Noble secured her 26th place overall, similar to her Tokyo Olympics display.

“I am retiring. Friday is my last race,” Noble announced after the race.”

She added: “I want to move on new of life, I want to start a new life, I want to focus on my career, am very happy to wrap up the season and focus on something else.”

Born on December 20, 1994, in Nakaseke, Luweero Triangle, to Dr. Gerry Noble and teacher Moira Noble, Kathleen holds dual citizenship in Uganda and Northern Ireland.

She attended Kabira International School before moving to the United States for further studies, eventually graduating from Princeton University in 2014 with a degree in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology.

Noble’s rowing journey began in 2014, transitioning from a background in swimming.

She has represented Uganda in many swimming championships, including 2012 FINA World Swimming Championships.
