  • A Case Study of Olympic, World and Commonwealth Sculling Champion Peter Antonie
    A CASE STUDY OF OLYMPIC, WORLD AND COMMONWEALTH SCULLING CHAMPION PETER ANTONIE A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PART FULFILMENT OF THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS, SPORTS HUMANITIES/MEDIA, DIVISION OF HEALTH, DESIGN AND SCIENCE, UNIVERSITY OF CANBERRA ROBIN POKE AUGUST 2006 ii Abstract This thesis is a biographical case study of Olympic, World and Commonwealth sculling champion Peter Antonie, whose career at the elite or high performance level spanned some 23 years – from 1977 to 2000. The thesis examines the exploits of an oarsman and sculler regarded within his sport as one of Australia’s greatest ever, despite his being considered physically disadvantaged at every phase of his career. Antonie was, most notably, a man of small stature – widely considered a handicap at the level of rowing to which he aspired, and at which he ultimately succeeded. The study also examines what it was, despite those perceived disadvantages, that drove him to excel. The thesis further examines, in thematic form, parallel developments within Australian rowing and sculling in the quarter of a century in which Peter Antonie competed. This was a period during which fundamental changes were seen in Australian sport, notably in the areas of funding and administration, and which saw a transformation from amateur to professional participation at the Olympic, Commonwealth Games and world championships levels. There were also marked changes to high performance rowing as a result of technological advances that produced new types of equipment, and scientific developments that brought new training and selection methodologies. The research was carried out as part of a systematic attempt to examine and investigate Peter Antonie’s reputation, particularly as it compares with his better- known contemporaries, the so-called Oarsome Foursome, and to analyse that reputation in light of the administrative developments in Australian rowing and Australian sport.

  • Developing Leaders the Jopling Family Rowing Scholarship
    DEVELOPING LEADERS THE JOPLING FAMILY ROWING SCHOLARSHIP MELBOURNE UNIVERSITY SPORT 2 MELBOURNE UNIVERSITY SPORT “Rowing has been a constant throughout my life. The sport has provided me with valuable lessons and moments of discovery. The values that are present in sport are timeless – commitment, cooperation, dedication, discipline, organisation and selflessness. They are also the values that translate to study, family and community service. I am delighted that the Jopling Family Rowing Scholarship will be awarded to someone who reflects this life philosophy.” JOHN JOPLING JNR Life member, Banks Rowing Club; FISA World Masters competitor “We established this Scholarship to honour two of the great passions in our father’s life–education and rowing. My wish is that it attracts the very best Australian students to study at the University and row for Melbourne University Boat Club. I want to see these scholarships offer exceptionally talented rowers, with academic potential, a real choice – to entice them to stay in Australia and row for Melbourne, and become leaders within the community. To achieve this, I believe, would honour my father immensely. My association with the University has been a rewarding one at a personal level and I believe I owe much to the University in terms of career and personal development. My parents taught me that it was incumbent on those who were more fortunate than others to give back so that others might benefit from one’s good fortune. It is my hope that from humble beginnings this scholarship program might endure in a meaningful way for generations to come and build on the legacy of my parents that inspired me to give.” PETER JOPLING AM QC Barrister, donor and University of Melbourne alumnus “My father has always instilled in our family the importance of hard work.
