Sir Steve Redgrave is renowned for winning five Gold Medals in five consecutive Olympic Games, a record in British rowing. After an extraordinary career that concluded at the Sydney Olympics, Steve now shares his expertise in endurance events to support athletes and businesses worldwide.
His Olympic journey began with a Gold in the Coxed Fours at the Los Angeles Games. He followed this with victories in the Coxless Pairs at the Seoul Olympics, again with Matthew Pinsent in 1992, 1996, and finally in the Coxless Fours at Sydney. After his win in Atlanta, Steve was already considered the greatest rower of all time. In 1997, he committed to competing in Sydney, aiming for a fifth consecutive gold, solidifying his status as one of the greatest athletes in Olympic history.
Beyond his Olympic triumphs, Steve secured his ninth World Championship Gold, adding to his previous wins from 1986 to 1998. Since retiring, he has remained active in rowing, mentoring Team GB members and collaborating with athletes like Mo Farah to share insights on high-level competition.
