Motivational SpeakersSir Steve Redgrave is an Olympic Rowing Legend.
Quintuple Olympic Gold Medalist Rower Sir Steve Redgrave is one of the greatest Olympians Britain has ever produced.
As a result of striking gold in Sydney, he became the only British athlete ever to have won Gold Medals at five consecutive Olympic Games.
- Los Angeles 1984 – Gold for the Coxed Fours
- Seoul 1988 – Gold in the Coxless Pairs
- Barcelona 1992 – Gold for the Coxless Pairs
- Atlanta 1996 – Gold for the Coxless Pairs
- Sydney 2000 – Gold in the Coxless Fours
Olympic and World Champion
In addition to his Olympic successes and following four unbeaten seasons from 1993 to 1996, Redgrave won his ninth World Championship Gold in August 1999 in Canada.
Sir Steve has won many other honours including the Henley Royal Regatta Diamond Sculls (several times) and the Silver Goblets a record seven times.
In 1986 Steve became a Triple Commonwealth Gold Medalist at Edinburgh, winning the Single Scull, Coxless Pairs, and Coxed Four.
Additionally, during the 1989/90 season, he was a member of the British Bobsleigh Team.
Together with Sir Matthew Pinsent, Steve Redgrave is the holder of the World Record in Coxless Pairs set in Lucerne in 1994 and the Olympic Record, set in Atlanta in 1996.
Already established as the world’s most outstanding rowers of all time after his Atlanta victory, Steve announced in 1997 that he had decided to carry on competing through to the Millennium Games in Sydney in the hope of winning a fifth consecutive Olympic gold medal. As a result of winning, he was confirmed as one of the greatest athletes in Olympic history.
Furthermore, his feats in the last four years of his career are even more outstanding when taking into account that he had ulcerative colitis and, since 1997, diabetes. These ailments caused unforeseeable bouts of fatigue when rowing.
Steve Redgrave was awarded the MBE in 1987 and the CBE in 1997. Following his success in Sydney, he was awarded a Knighthood in the 2001 New Years Honours List.
