Drew Ginn Biography

Drew Ginn is one of the most popular and richest Sport Cyclist who was born on November 20, 1974 in Leongatha, Leongatha, Australia. 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. 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 awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in the 1997 Australia Day Honours and the Australian Sports Medal in June 2000.

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. 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.

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

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. 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.

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.

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