When had Mr.Rowley Douglas joined the british rowing team?

Answer 1

1997 When Rowley Douglas and his British Eight rowing team edged Australia for the gold in the 2000 Games in Sydney, he launched himself into the water of Penrith Lake - followed closely by his teammates. That swim was a long time coming. "I started rowing in 1990," said the two-year GE Commercial Finance employee who is account manger for the Apple Financial Service Program in the UK. "I have always liked the water and being part of a team. And I'm over-competitive. So it seemed like a good sport for me." He joined the British Rowing Team seven years later, and in 1999-the year prior to the Sydney Olympics - he was selected in an Olympic Boat Class as coxswain. It's the coxswain's job to steer the boat, motivate the rowers and to coordinate their power and rhythm.
