Head of the Mitchell Report Published 17th October 2018 Greg Hansen provides the following report of Mercs at the Head of the Mitchell. This was the 7th annual Head of the Mitchell event, hosted by Bairnsdale Rowing Club, and one of the nicest regional regattas you could hope to attend – a real community event. The regatta consisted of a 5-kilometre time trial, followed by a 500-metre sprint (boats were grouped together in racing brackets of four, depending on their 5km times). The X4X- was in bracket A and the MM4- in bracket B, so Mercs did well to finish in the very top tiers of the event (there were 83 entries). Above: An inter-generational day for Mercs The 5-km races yielded the following results for Mercantile: FA-D1X 1st Madeleine Thomas (22:35) 2nd Gemma Sibillin (24:50) MA-D1X 1st Alexander Kinsella (20:41) 2nd William Legge (21:00) X4X- 1st Mercantile with Gemma Sibillin, Joel Cain, Alexander Kinsella and Madeleine Thomas (18:21) – this crew also won the trophy for the fastest IV or quad at the regatta (see photo) MA-D2 1st Mercantile/Melbourne with Colin Kimpton and Michael Dakic (24:12) XM8+ 1st Mercantile/Caulfied/Argonauts composite with Pernette Wijnen, Irena Benjamin, Jennifer Williams, Val Dowell (and Argonauts men) (21:14) MM4X 1st Mercantile/Albert Park-Sth Melb – Hugh McVicker and Greg Hansen with APSM’s Alan McCowen and a last-minute substitute for Walter Grootendorst (19:56) Irish League 500 metre races: The X4X-, XM8+ and MM4X all won their bracketed events Thanks Greg and Go Mercs.

Published 17th October 2018 The Baker Institute of Medical Research is conducting an investigation in atrial remodelling and the risk of arrhythmias in endurance athletes This research project is aiming to assess how much your heart changes in size and function in response to high intensity exercise training, if those changes are reversible or long lasting, and the association of these changes with Atrial Fibrillation risk. The study is being conducted by a team of researchers at the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute led by A/Professor Andre La Gerche. Who can participate? • Young Elite Athlete (Aged 16–23): Competing in endurance based activities: triathlon, cycling, rowing, canoeing, distance running, swimming at state or national level.

  • James Tomkins
    JAMES TOMKINS Talent Profile © TLA Worldwide 2020 TLAWorldwide.com A three-time Olympic gold medalist and seven-time World champion, James is the most decorated rower in Australian history. He is one of only five Australians to have competed at six Olympic Games. NATIONALITY CAPABILITIES Australian Keynote Guest Panellist DATE OF BIRTH Ambassador 8/19/65 Appearances TEAMS INTERESTS Rowing Australia Health & Nutrition Wellbeing Leadership Family Business © TLA Worldwide 2020 TLAWorldwide.com BIO James began rowing at Carey Grammar in Melbourne, rising through the ranks to win national titles and earn international selection as stroke of the Men’s Eight at the 1985 World Championships. It was the first chapter in a glittering international career that included six Olympic Games (for three Gold & one Bronze medal), 11 World Championships (for seven world titles, including one in each of the five sweep oar events) and four World Cups (two titles). James competed in three events: the Coxless four, men’s eight and men’s pair and is the only rower in history to win world titles in every sweep oar event. Throughout the early 1990s James out-performed any competition he faced, winning an impressive 3 European titles, 2 world titles and an Olympic gold medal in Barcelona. In 1998, the ‘Oarsome Foursome’ returned to international competition and rowed as a coxed four, winning gold at the World Championships in Cologne. At the same regatta, James teamed up with fellow crewmember Nick Green to win gold in the coxed pairs. © TLA Worldwide 2020 TLAWorldwide.com To request more information about “When you can do something well, James Tomkins, please contact us.
