| Achievements |
The four-time Olympic gold medallist confirmed his talent when
he achieved something at the World Rowing Championships that
even Redgrave had never managed.
Along
with partner James Cracknell he won both the coxed and coxless
pairs titles.
It
was a stunning achievement as the two races took place just
two hours apart.
The
rower's Olympic golds and his seven World Championship golds
make him one of Britain's most successful athletes. |
