Timeline

1974

Drew Cameron Ginn OAM (born 20 November 1974) is an Australian five-time world champion rower, a four time Olympian and triple Olympic gold medallist.

1993

His first state selection for Victoria came in the 1993 youth eight contesting the Noel Wilkinson Trophy in the Interstate Regatta at the Australian Rowing Championships.

1994

He rowed again in the Victorian youth eight in 1994, this time to victory in the Interstate Regatta.

Ginn made his Australian representative debut in the 1994 U23 Trans Tasman series against New Zealand.

He rowed in the Australian eight which won two of the three match races in the series.

In 1994 he also contested the World Rowing U23 Championships in Paris rowing in the men's eight.

1995

From 1995 to 1998 he was a member of Australia's prominent world class crew – the coxless four known as the Oarsome Foursome.

Ginn was educated at Scotch College, Melbourne where he took up rowing.

His senior club rowing was done from the Mercantile Rowing Club in Melbourne.

On twelve occasions between 1995 and 2008 he was selected in the Victorian senior men's eight to contest the King's Cup at the Interstate Regatta.

Eight of those Victorian eights saw King's Cup victories and Ginn stroked three King's Cup eights, two to victory.

In 1995 he first contested senior World Rowing Championships rowing in the men's eight to an eleventh placing in Tampere, Finland.

1996

Ginn won gold in the men's coxless four at the Atlanta 1996 Summer Olympics as part of Australia's Oarsome Foursome, along with Mike McKay, James Tomkins, and Nicholas Green – Ginn replaced the retired Andrew Cooper.

1997

In 1997 he secured a seat in the Australian men's senior eight.

He raced at the World Rowing Cup I in Lucerne that year and then at the 1997 World Rowing Championships in Aiguebelette, France he rowed in the seven seat for their third placing in the final and to a bronze medal.

Ginn's 1997 season in the Australian eight also included a campaign at the Henley Royal Regatta where as an Australian Institute of Sport crew they contested and won the 1997 Grand Challenge Cup.

Ginn was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in the 1997 Australia Day Honours and the Australian Sports Medal in June 2000.

Scotch College, Melbourne, Ginn's former school, named a racing eight "Drew Ginn" in his honour.

1998

At the 1998 World Championships, back in the Oarsome Foursome Ginn raced and won the men's coxed four world title with Brett Hayman in the stern.

Mike McKay and Ginn also took a silver medal at that same regatta as a coxless pair.

The school's first VIII won the APS Head of the River (Australia) in that boat in 1998.

1999

In 1999, the foursome would go on to try out, but lose the 1999 Australian selection trials in a coxless four.

Tomkins and Ginn decided to switch to a coxless pair and won the 1999 World Championship in St Catharines Canada.

2000

Ginn and James Tomkins had planned to race the straight pair at the Sydney 2000 Summer Olympics, but Ginn suffered a severe back injury, forcing him to withdraw from the boat.

2002

In 2002, he returned to the water, teaming up with fellow Oarsome Foursome rower James Tomkins in a coxless pair; they finished fourth in the 2002 World Championships.

2003

In 2003, Ginn and Tomkins were the surprise winners, beating the British favourites—and defending champions—Matthew Pinsent and James Cracknell, which was a factor in Pinsent and Cracknell choosing to move to the coxless fours.

In 2003 together with James Tomkins he was named with FISA male rower of the year.

2004

At the 2004 Summer Olympics, Ginn and Tomkins won the gold medal in the coxless pairs.

In 2004 he was appointed as an Athletes Commission member to the Australian Olympic Committee.

2006

In 2006, Ginn made a return to international competition at the 2006 World Rowing Championships held at Dorney Lake, Eton.

He and new pairs partner Duncan Free were able to win despite choppy tail conditions.

2007

In 2007 Ginn and Free successfully defended their coxless pairs title, posting a time of 6:24.87 minutes — almost 6 secs ahead of their New Zealand rivals (Nathan Twaddle and George Bridgewater) who had stuck with them for the first 1000 m before dropping behind to take the silver.

In 2007 jointly with Duncan Free he was named FISA male rower of the year.

2008

Early in 2008 Drew Ginn and his 2007 World Champion partner Free, were pre-selected to compete for Australia at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games where they won the gold medal as a coxless pair.

2009

In 2009 Ginn took up competitive road bicycle racing, with immediate success, particularly in the discipline of the time trial.

He won the 2009 Oceania time trial championships.

However, in downplaying the achievement, Ginn noted two riders in the under-23 competition actually posted faster times over the same course on the same day.

2010

In a much stronger field at the 2010 Australian national road championships, Ginn finished sixth.

In 2010, Ginn was inducted as a member of the Rowing Victoria Hall of Fame.

2012

At the 2012 London Olympics, Ginn won a silver medal in the Australian men's coxless four, behind the all-conquering Great Britain men's four, who went on to win gold in their fourth consecutive Olympics.
