1985 GB National Champs Steve Redgrave 1x

Short piece for ITV showing a young (23) Steve Redgrave at the British National Championships. The GB 1985 World Championships team was mainly announced the evening after this race, and as expected he was selected as the GB sculler for the Worlds.
That year from the Olympic gold medal four; Steve was trying the 1x, Andy Holmes wasnt racing, Martin Cross was in the 2- with Adam Clift and Richard Budgett was concentrating on his medical studies.
You can see Steve 2 years earlier in a sliding rigger single here

Wonder if he had any inkling back then that he would end up with 5 Olympic golds!

Probably, seeing as he had already won one olympics.
