Members of the Bermuda Rowing fraternity had a meeting of a life time when Sir Steven Geoffrey Redgrave, a retired British Rower who won Gold Medals at five consecutive Olympic Games from 1984 to 2000 as well as a Bronze Medal at the 1988 Summer Games, totaling 6 Olympic Medals paid them a visit at the Royal Hamilton Amateur Dinghy Association Dock.
President of the Bermuda Rowing Association Michael Swain said, “This is indeed a special moment to have Sir Steve here and be able to have a conversation with him, he came to Bermuda for another event, but he has been so gracious to spend some time with us and offer a few tips to our young rowers.”
Sir Steve carried the British flag at the opening of the Olympic Games on two occasions. In 2011 he received the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Lifetime Achievement Award. With 5 Gold Medals and 1 Bronze, Redgrave is the most successful Male Rower in Olympic history.
