That question really cannot be answered. Great Britain won its first Olympic gold in rowing at the 1908 Games in London. The finals for all four rowing events were held on July 31 and, since the time of day the events were held was not recorded, we don't know which one was held first. But we do know that Great Britain won gold in all four events and those gold medalists are listed below: 1) Single Sculls - Harry Blackstaffe 2) Coxless Pairs - Gordon Thomson, John Fenning 3) Coxless Fours - Angus Gilan, Duncan Mackinnon, Robert Cudmore, Robert Somers-Smith 4) Coxed Eights - Albert Gladstone, Banner Johnstone, Charles Burnell, Frederick Kelly, Guy Nicholls, Henry Bucknall, Raymond Etherington-Smith, Ronald Sanderson
