Gender Male
Location Gold Coast, Qld, Australia
Introduction Sitting in the front seat, as captain of the Australian Men’s K4 1000m crew, Tate is using his experience from the Beijing Olympics to help guide his crew towards an Olympic gold Medal in London. The Australian Men's K4 team produced the best K4 result ever for Australia at the 2011 Canoe Sprint World Championships in Hungary. They were silver medalists behind Germany, who made a crew change, and had to pull out a World Record time to beat them in the final, after Australia qualified fastest for the final after their semi. In 2010, the boys finished 5th in the same event, and the momentum is definitely building towards a podium finish at this year’s London Olympic Games. Follow Tate while he chases his dreams of winning an Olympic Gold Medal for Australia at the London Olympic Games.
