Alexander ‘Alex’ Hill is a world champion rower, Tokyo Olympic Gold Medalist and a member of the Adelaide Rowing Club.

​

Originally from Berri in South Australia’s Riverland region, Alex was introduced to rowing while attending Prince Alfred College in Adelaide during his mid-teens.

​

A late newcomer to the sport, he excelled at junior and national competition level and in 2016 was named in the men’s coxless four rowing team for the Rio Olympics.

​

At the Games, Alex and team won their semi-final heat before placing second behind Great Britain to win Silver in the final of the rowing event.

​

In 2017, he was a member of the coxless four team that won Australia’s first world championship title since the Oarsome Foursome in 1991.

​

Four years later, Alex’s command of the stroke seat helped Australia’s coxless four-win Gold in an Olympic best time in Tokyo and in the process entrenched himself in this nation’s sporting history.
