Peter Gillon (11 August 1939 – 6 December 2018) was an Australian representative rower who competed at two Olympic Games.
He won silver in a coxed four at the 1962 Australian Championships [3] and gold in Mercantile colours in a coxless four which he stroked in 1964.
[4] For the 1960 Rome Olympics a Victorian coxless four was selected as the 7th and last priority boat and wholly on the basis of self-funding.
Gillon was picked in the three seat of that crew with the others coming from various Melbourne clubs - Peter Guest, Brian Vear and Kim Jelbart.
The lack of coaching support provided to the team by the Australian Olympic Federation proved to be an issue.
