Don Christie a 95 year old Rowing Legend

A very special video, I was privileged to be able to interview a 95 year old rower on the day he and his crew of fellow rowers all in their 80's rowed in the AUSTRALIAN HENLEY REGATTA 2024.

I have had the privilege to have rowed with Don in the Banks Senior Eight over the last 17 years. During this time Don helped me improve my technique. To me, he is more than a crew member he is a friend on and off the water. I am fortunate to know him and I have greatly benefited from his coaching.
Thank you, Don, I'll see you on the water.

Thank you for commenting and sharing your experience of knowing this amazing man, when his daughter Ros told me her father was still rowing at 95 I realised his story should be told. I am hoping to do a sequel to this with a longer more casual interview of Don in the near future.
