Motivational SpeakersMatt Langridge MBE is an Olympic Rowing Champion, commercial airline pilot and inspirational speaker.
However, Rio, was just the cumulation of a sixteen-year long career, spanning four Olympic Games and twelve World Championships.
Having suffered the disappointment of missing out on the final at his first Olympic Games in Athens (by 0.06 of a second), Matt remained undeterred from his dream. Four years later, he won his first Olympic medal in Beijing, taking silver in the men’s eight.
In 2012 on home water, Matt Langridge was part of the men’s eight at the London Olympics, where they ran a brave, courageous race to lead the current World Champions and much-favoured German crew into the closing stages. Unfortunately, although they couldn’t hang on to the gold medal, the team came away with a well-earned bronze with the help of the home crowd.
After the setback at London 2012, Matt drew on his resilience and determination to refocus on his ultimate goal.
As a result, at the Rio 2016 Olympics, he and his team delivered a near-perfect race to win the sport’s ultimate crown: Olympic Champions.
Alongside his Olympic medal collection, Matt has won multiple World and European titles and holds numerous British records.
