Sporting Legends: Sir Steve Redgrave
SPORTING LEGENDS: SIR STEVE REDGRAVE SPORT: ROWING COMPETITIVE ERA: 1979 - 2000 Sir Stephen Geoffrey Redgrave, CBE, or less formally Steve Redgrave, (born 23 March 1962 in Marlow, England), is a British rower who won a gold medal at five consecutive Olympic Games from 1984 to 2000, as well as an additional bronze medal in 1988. As the only Briton ever to achieve this feat, he is widely considered to be Britain's greatest Olympian. Only four other Olympians achieved the same: Pál Kovács, Aladár Gerevich, Reiner Klimke and Birgit Fischer. Redgrave also won a bronze medal with Holmes in the coxed pairs in 1988. He has won nine Rowing World Championship gold medals. His feats in the last four years of his career are even more outstanding if it is taken into account that Redgrave has been suffering from ulcerative colitis and, since 1997, diabetes causing unforeseeable bouts of fatigue when rowing. In 1989/90 he was a member of the British bobsleigh team. In 2000, he won his fifth consecutive Olympic Gold Medal, and retired as one of the greatest rowers of all time and became the BBC Sports Personality of the Year. He made an MBE in 1987, CBE in 1997 and knighted in 2001. SPORTING LEGENDS: SIR STEVE REDGRAVE Redgrave’s Olympic Rowing Achievements May Never Be Equalled Or Bettered… Achievements Olympic Medals: 5 Gold, 1 Bronze World Championship Medals: 9 Gold, 2 Silver, 1 Bronze Junior World Championship Medals: 1 Silver Olympic Games 2000 - Gold, Coxless Four (with Matthew Pinsent, Tim Foster, James Cracknell) 1996 - Gold, Coxless Pair (with Matthew Pinsent) 1992 - Gold, Coxless Pair (with Matthew Pinsent) 1988 - Gold, Coxless Pair (with Andy Holmes) 1988 - Bronze, Coxed Pair (with Andy Holmes) 1984 - Gold, Coxed Four (with Martin Cross, Adrian Ellison, Andy Holmes, Richard Budgett).

STEVEN REDGRAVE: «IL CAMPIONISSIMO» Di Claudio Loreto
STEVEN REDGRAVE: «IL CAMPIONISSIMO» di Claudio Loreto Un unico aggettivo può qualificare appropriatamente l’inglese Stephen (detto Steven) Geoffrey Redgrave: epico. E non soltanto in quanto, fino ad oggi, 1 nessuno nella storia del canottaggio maschile ha mietuto così tanti successi quanto lui (5 ori ed 1 bronzo nei Giochi Olimpici; 12 medaglie - delle quali 9 d’oro - nei Campionati del Mondo), 2 ma anche perché per conquistarli egli ha dovuto lottare, oltreché contro i migliori campioni del remo, con tutt’altro che indifferenti - per un atleta - problemi fisici. Classe 1962, 193 centimetri di altezza per 103 chilogrammi di peso: un colosso che a Los Angeles ’84 - sua prima Olimpiade - centrò subito l’oro con il 4 con .3 Questa la cronaca di quella gara: “La serie delle finali maschili inizia sotto una cappa nebbiosa, al contrario delle giornate precedenti ricche di sole nelle fasi preliminari. Primo equipaggio in gara il 4 con: vince la Gran Bretagna, a secco, quanto a medaglie olimpiche, dalle Olimpiadi del 1948, come ricorda in tribuna stampa Richard Burnell, molto emozionato, che conquistò il titolo nel doppio assieme a Herbeth Busnell (in quell’anno i britannici conquistarono anche la medaglia d’oro del 2 senza, poi più nulla). Il ritmo alla gara viene imposto dagli USA, che tengono la testa per i primi mille metri. Poi scattano i britannici, sulla cui azione si inserisce anche la Nuova Zelanda. L’equipaggio italiano, terzo sino a 500 metri dall’arrivo, non regge all’azione dei neozelandesi, che percorrono l’ultima frazione ad un ritmo forsennato, registrando l’intertempo più basso, 1’34”34…“.
