Josh will still race for Mercs at the National Championships and for Victoria in the King’s Cup. As various Mercs members have noted, JDS has earned the right to step back and look after the next stage of his life. …. A great role model to young rowers and an inspiration to the rowing community. …. One of the gentlest humans you’ll ever meet. … Huge respect. We all hope that he may be able to return to the international stage in the future. Josh, you are a great and much loved Mercantilian. Above: Josh at Rio in 2016 after taking silver The following statement was issued today by Josh and Rowing Australia. Two-time Olympic silver medallist, Joshua Dunkley-Smith, has today announced that he will be no longer pursuing selection for the Australian Rowing Team for 2018 and will be leaving the Reinhold Batschi Men’s National Training Centre to focus on his career and personal life. Dunkley-Smith, who made his senior team debut for Australia in 2009, has released the following statement: “It is something that I have been considering for a while, as I’ve gotten older things have become more important to me, one of those things is spending time with family and spending time with my partner Candice. We have many plans together for our future and I want us to spend time together and enjoy being a couple in our twenties before our future continues and things change again. “As I have gotten older, other concerns grow and other aspects of life have to be considered alongside rowing. I know what is required to perform at the level I want to perform at, and achieve what I want to achieve, and I don’t know if I would be capable of that level of commitment if ultimately my heart is in other places. “I know what is required to deliver for my crew mates, and I am now hesitant to put myself in a boat, when I know I may not be able to uphold my responsibilities, because my head and heart is focused elsewhere. “On a personal level, it has been challenging for me to be centralised in Canberra, but I think the environment itself is a good one. Spending time there, with the guys, I see that the group is really on the right track and they are set up to have some really good results, with or without me. Moving interstate has maybe made my feelings more acute, but rowing is a sport that regardless of where you train, takes you away for great periods of time. “I’ve been thinking about stepping away for a while, both last year and this year. Rowing is a sport that take you away from your friends and family, but that is the nature of elite sport and that can’t be changed – it’s not just about going interstate but also about going overseas for long periods of time to pursue your goals. “I am incredibly grateful for the support I have had as I have made this decision. I have obviously been talking a lot to Candice and my mum (Addy Bucek), both experienced athletes, and with Drew Ginn (three-time Olympic rowing gold medallist, and member of Dunkley-Smith’s silver medal-winning Men’s Four in 2012). “I am very lucky to have so many people to turn to for advice, and also a lot of people who over the years have coached me and been there for me as a friend, including the likes of Bill Tait, who has been very supportive as I made this decision. In making this decision, I have realised how much people care for myself as an athlete and as a person. It is important when in such a high-pressure environment, that you have friendships that are more than just a sporting relationship. “I am also extremely grateful for the support that’s been offered to me by Rowing Australia in this time as I’ve made this decision to take this time away from the sport. I am unsure, at the moment, if I am going to retire, that is a big decision to make. Everyone has been encouraging and made it clear that I am always welcome if I do feel that I have made the wrong decision. I believe it’s now about stepping back and refocusing before making such a big decision.” Dunkley-Smith won Olympic silver medals at the London 2012 and Rio 2016 Olympic Games in the Men’s Four and also has five Senior World Rowing Championship medals to his name. On Saturday 10 March 2018, Dunkley-Smith, (subject to verification from Concept2) broke the World Record for 2000m on an indoor rowing machine by setting a time of 5 minutes 35.5 seconds. The 28- year-old’s feat saw him post a time that bettered New Zealand’s Rob Waddell’s 19-year-old record for the 19-29 age category, and Waddell’s 10-year-old record for the 30-39 age category. “It was probably something that I have been working towards for a quite a while. It is one of those things that has always been there but never a main stated goal, as it’s always more about the racing on the water. However, seeing how long the records had stood for, and having the opportunity to go for it, I was glad I was able to do that before I take some time away,” admitted Dunkley-Smith. Rowing Australia Performance Director, Bernard Savage said, “We have seen this week the calibre of athlete that Josh is. It is clear that Josh has spent time considering this decision, so while we are obviously disappointed to see Josh step away from the sport, we respect his decision and will do all we can to assist him as he focuses more on life outside the boat. “He is a superb athlete and has contributed greatly to the Australian Rowing Team over the last 11 years. The combination of both raw athletic ability and experience has made him a wonderful addition to the Reinhold Batschi Men’s National Training Centre this season.
