More on Alan Campbell
Description from Wikipedia:
Alan Campbell (born 9 May 1983, Coleraine, Northern Ireland) is a British sculler
Campbell started rowing for his school, Coleraine Academical Institution for Boys, in Northern Ireland before moving to London and joining the Tideway Scullers School.
In 2003, Campbell left his degree and won the Diamond Sculls at Henley Royal Regatta. He then made his international debut at the World U23 Championships in 2003, where he was forced to switch from the double to the single sculls five days before the regatta when his sculling partner became ill. Despite this he finished 8th.
He competed in the quadruple sculls at the 2004 Summer Olympics, finishing in 12th place. In 2005, Campbell won the men's single at the GB Selection Trials, and raced in the men's quad for the World Cup series, winning the bronze at Lucerne regatta. At the 2005 World Championships in Gifu, Japan, the men's quad narrowly failed to reach the final.
In 2006, Campbell switched to competing in the men's heavyweight single, and won the Munich world cup regatta ahead of Olaf Tufte. He also finished second in Lucerne, behind Mahe Drysdale, and fourth in Poznań, to win the overall world cup standings.
Alan competed in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing where he participated in the Mens 2000m Individual Scull; managing to remain in first for the first 1000m, where he was then over taken by Olaf Tufte and came in fifth position. == Henley Royal Regatta ==
