In January 2021 it was announced that Glover had restarted training. At the 2021 European Rowing Championships in Varese, Italy, she won the gold medal in the coxless pair (W2-) teamed with Polly Swann. They won their heat in 7 minutes 8.91 seconds, the fastest qualifiers. They completed the final in 7 mins 2.73 seconds, having eventually overhauled the Romanian crew of Adriana Ailincai and Iuliana Buhus by 0.29 seconds. In interviews they noted that Swann hadn't raced for 2 years and Glover hadn't raced for 5 years, since the Olympic final in Brazil.
