Emma competes for Great Britain in the Olympic Windsurfing Class. She is the 2025 iQFOiL World Champion and a double Olympic medallist.  

Emma has become one of the most successful windsurfers in the world. Selected for Tokyo 2020 at just 20, she trained alone through lockdown, led midway through the regatta, and took bronze, level on points with silver and two points behind gold, in one of the closest Olympic finishes the sport has seen.

For Paris 2024 she switched to the new iQFOiL foiling discipline, winning European silver in 2022 and reaching the podium at every major event in 2023 and 2024.

In Marseille she secured a medal before the final day, but a controversial new final format and a one-sided wind shift cost her the gold, leaving her with a second bronze.

Now aiming for Los Angeles 2028 and Brisbane 2032, she had her best season yet in 2025, winning the World Championships and finishing second at the Europeans, and so far in 2026 she has won in Lanzarote and at the Olympic venue in Los Angeles.
