Matthew Pinsent is a renowned English rowing legend and highly regarded sports broadcaster. Throughout his rowing career, he achieved remarkable success, securing ten world championship gold medals and four consecutive Olympic gold medals. Three of these Olympic victories were accomplished alongside his close friend Steve Redgrave.
Matthew's Olympic journey began at the tender age of 21, when he and Steve triumphed in the Coxless Pair event, earning the prestigious Gold Medal at the Barcelona Olympics. In his final Olympic race, Matthew displayed exceptional skill and determination by leading Great Britain's coxless four to a victory over the Canadian World Champions, winning by a mere eight one-hundredths of a second. This momentous achievement exemplifies how success can be determined by the slimmest of margins.
After retiring from rowing, Matthew joined the BBC as a sports bulletin presenter and reporter. He has also acted as an umpire and commentator for significant rowing events such as the Olympics, Henley Royal Regatta, and The Boat Races. Additionally, Matthew directed the documentary "Unbelievable - The Chad Le Clos Story," which chronicles the journey of swimmer Chad Le Clos.
Beyond his accomplishments in rowing and broadcasting, Matthew is a great motivational speaker. He has been invited to speak at corporate events for UK and international companies, including Proctor & Gamble, IBM, British Telecom, NatWest, Camelot, and Lombard. His ability to inspire and captivate audiences has solidified his reputation as a remarkable individual.
