Alan Campbell

Alan was selected in the men's single scull for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games where he positioned in 5th place.

Alan is GB's leading single sculler and has established himself as a strong and respected competitior in the solo world of the men's single. 

In 2006 he won the World Cup series and finished 6th at the the World Championships while he stepped up at the 2007 Worlds with a medal zone finish in 4th place.  He made a great start to his Olympic season by winning the 2008 World Cup in Munich ahead of the 2007 silver and bronze medallists from Norway and the Czech Republic.  At the Lucerne World Cup he placed 4th.

Alan represented GB in the quad at the Olympic Games in 2004 and was a member of GB's first ever world cup medal winning men's quad in 2005.

Alan started rowing at school, Coleraine Academical Institution for Boys, in his hometown in Northern Ireland and was then 'found' by Tideway Scullers School and encouraged to aim high through their development programme.

He made his GB debut at the World U23 Championships in 2003 where he raced in the single scull, finishing 8th. This was no mean achievement as he was selected in the double and switched to the single just five days before the regatta when his partner became ill and was unable to race.

A month before Alan had made his mark by winning the Diamond Sculls at Henley.
