The official website of Pete Reed, Great Britain rower

Lieutenant Pete Reed MBE is a member of the Great Britain rowing squad and is Olympic Champion in the flagship coxless four.

Despite only taking up rowing in his second year of university, after completing officer training in the Royal Navy, he reached the top of his sport just three years later, winning his first World Championships in Japan.

Pete Reed's Olympic Campaign

The 2008 Olympiad saw Pete become Olympic Champion and double World Champion in the coxless fours,  and incorporate an unbeaten run of 27 international races.  In the nail-biting Olympic final in Beijing, the British crew made a dramatic push in the closing stages of the race to pass Australia and take the gold medal.

Pete will now continue training for the London Olympics in 2012 where he will be one of Britain's brightest medal hopes.
