Rory Gibbs

Rory Gibbs (born 3 April 1994) is a British representative rower - an Olympic and a two-time world champion.

In 2022, he won the Grand Challenge Cup (the blue riband event at Henley) in the bow of a composite Leander/Oxford Brookes crew.

[3] Gibbs first made national selection for Great Britain into the U23 men's eight for the 2015 U23 World Rowing Championships in Plovdiv.

[6][5] That crew of Gibbs, Cook, Rossiter and Carnegie stayed together throughout the Covid lost season of 2020 whilst knowing their 2019 performances had qualified the boat for the eventual 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

At the Tokyo Olympic regatta they won their heat, comfortably beating the eventual bronze medallists Italy.
