Summary

Sir Steve Redgrave is a former British rower who won five Gold Medals in five successive Olympic Games. In this collection we hear—in his own words—about why he retired after the Olympic Games in Atlanta, yet returned for his fifth victory in Sydney. He discusses his early days rowing and his post-race emotions, and memories of his last race. He's also open about his retirement and knowing that Sydney was the last time, as well as missing the team and routine. In addition, he talks about his career after rowing, such as his charity running, his clothing range, his charity trust and running the London Marathon.

The interviews included in this collection are Parkinson, BBC One (first broadcast 6 October 2000); Go 4 It, BBC Radio 4 (first broadcast 15 April 2001) and What Sports Stars Do Next, BBC Radio Wales (first broadcast 10 December 2007).

Wish it Were Longer

I bought this, thinking it was a full length book. However, once I started listening, I wasn’t too disappointed. Because it was so interesting and easy to listen to, it left me wanting to hear much more from this man who I admire immensely.
