Lightweight Coxless Four or Double Scull at Olympic Games
Jamie was inspired to take up rowing by his dad and older brother, both coxes. He learnt to scull at Marlow Rowing Club when he was 13, and started rowing full time at Abingdon School the next year. He enjoys being fit and healthy and is hoping to follow his heroes Sir Steve Redgrave and Andrew Triggs-Hodge by racing in the Olympic Games. Jamie trains six days a week at school which involves three water sessions and three weights sessions. Additionally, he has two ergos during the week at lunchtimes and at weekends he competes as much as possible, either with school or Henley RC, rowing or sculling.
He won gold at the Coupe De La Jeunesse in the Coxless Four last year as well as gold in the Ghent International Regatta and silver medals in the British Indoor Rowing Championships and Schools Head of the River Championships.
