Britain finished top of the medal table in the Olympics and Paralympics in both sports in Beijing.
“This reflects the incredible team that we have working within GB Rowing as well as the achievements of our leading athletes,” said Tanner.
“I am privileged to have been awarded this honour on behalf of my sport.”

“Everybody in our team dedicate their lives to the pursuit of a dream – to win a gold medal,” said Brailsford.
“When they do get recognised in this way it is breathtaking and a fantastic honour.
“It is a great achievement for cycling, and a great opportunity to improve cycling at the grass-root level.”
