Alex Partridge

Alexander Matthew Partridge (born 25 January 1981 in San Francisco) is a British rower, and an Olympic silver and bronze medallist.

[1] Partridge started rowing at Monkton Combe School, Bath, and attended Oxford Brookes University to study Technology Management.

This proved a headache for the selectors who had already shuffled the previous year's crews considerably, in the wake of Matthew Pinsent and James Cracknell's disappointing 4th place in the pair in Milan.

[4] He returned to the men's Four in 2009 and won gold at the World Championships in Poznań on 29 August 2009 alongside Matt Langridge, Alex Gregory and Ric Egington.

He was part of the British squad that topped the medal table at the 2011 World Rowing Championships in Bled, where he won a silver medal as part of the eight with Nathaniel Reilly-O'Donnell, Cameron Nichol, James Foad, Moe Sbihi, Greg Searle, Tom Ransley, Daniel Ritchie and Phelan Hill.
