He also won six Henley Royal Regatta medals, and four Lucerne gold medals in all 3 coxed boat classes. Adrian won the London Tideway Head of the River twice outright with women's crews, and twice with men's crews. More recently, he steered the basis of the HoCR women’s' Masters crew to win the Masters category in March this year. Adrian attended Reading University and studied zoology. He coxed the woman's crews during his time there in the late 1970s. The London radiologist, Adrian Ellison, of the Tyrian Boat Club was Britain’s leading cox in the years leading up to the 1984 Olympic Games. In 1981 he won a bronze medal at the World Championships in the coxed pairs and he also took part in the next two World Championships, competing in the coxed fours in 1982 and the eights in 1983.

Born in London, Cross was educated at Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School[1] He studied at Queen Mary, University of London, rowing for the college boat club.[2] Cross also won a gold medal in the coxed fours at the 1986 Commonwealth Games, silver medals in the coxless fours at the World Junior Championships in 1975 and in coxless pairs at the World Championships in 1985, and bronze medals in the coxless fours at the World Championships in 1978 and 1979 and the Olympics in 1980, and in the eight at the World Championships in 1991.

He published an autobiography, Olympic Obsession in 2001,[3] and is currently working part-time as a history and politics teacher at Hampton School. He writes about rowing for The Guardian. Cross appears as a cameo in the 2004 romantic hit The Notebook. Although his work is uncredited, his character of "Rower" appears first in the credits list - something which co-star Ryan Gosling has described as "well-deserved." The Canadian once commented, "I could not expect to be credited above an Olympic gold medalist! It was such an honor to appear on the same list as Martin, and I'm pleased to be able to call him my friend." Coincidentally, Cross also taught Gosling how to row in order to ensure that the film's famous lake scene was authentic.

Growing up in the united states in the 1970s and early 1980s, it was impossible to miss the fact that the ussR was consid - ered our enemy and, according to movies and television, plotting to destroy the planet with its nuclear weapons. interest in the “evil empire” was everywhere. When i was seven, my second grade class made up a game: usA versus ussR. The girls were the united states, with headquarters at the jungle gym. The boys were the ussR, and were hunkered down at the sand box. And for some reason, the boys allowed me to be the only girl in the ussR. And thus, i was suddenly faced with a dilemma. My best friends were girls, but i was a curious kid, and i wanted to know what was going on in the ussR. un - able to choose between them, i became a double agent. i suppose it was my insatiable curiosity about this purportedly diabolical country that led me to beg my parents to allow me to subscribe to Soviet Life magazine at age ten. (i have no idea how i even knew it existed.) As children of the Mccarthy era in the 1950s, when thousands of Americans were accused of disloyalty and being communist sympathizers, my parents were concerned about the repercussions that the subscription to Soviet Life could have on my future.

  • Cygnet Guide to Henley Royal Regatta
    THE CYGNET GUIDE TO HENLEY ROYAL REGATTA HISTORY has been kind to Henley, not least because it has long been a staunch Tory constituency (represented by the flamboyant Boris Johnston until he became London Mayor) and prides itself in self-preservation. Standing on one of the most unspoiled reaches of the river, Henley has been one of the most popular and fashionable Thames-side towns since the 18th century. The Regatta was first held on this stretch in 1839 – when it was raced in a single afternoon – and the Stewards continue to do all they can to uphold the standards and ambience of that era (but thankfully the loos have kept up with the 21st century!). Despite the unstoppable march of multi-lane courses, Henley Royal remains the club oarsman’s Olympics. QUALIFYING races have become increasingly necessary in recent years because so many of the events are over subscribed and take place on the previous Friday, 25th June. Starting in the afternoon and continuing until the early evening, they are a spectacle in themselves without all the pomp and circumstance of the following week. RACING proper begins on Wednesday 30th June and continues until Sunday 4th July. At least half of regatta goers – the corporate hospitality set – are completely unaware that any boat races take place at all! For the more dedicated spectators (eg: the Chairman and Dowager Chairman seen above), racing begins at the crack of dawn on Wednesday to Friday, usually finishing around 7pm each evening, before settling down to a more civilised hour on Saturday and Sunday (semi-finals and finals day).
