Don M Christie

Albert Park Rowing Club (VIC)

Don is one of the toughest rowers, pound for pound, and has a marvellously robust constitution. He has never stopped rowing. At the time of writing this profile, he is still racing head races at the age of 93 years. He is obviously highly sought after as a masters rower!

The idea for this history originated from the Olympic Rowing and World Senior Rowing Championship histories written by Andrew Guerin and Margot Foster in 1991, 1992 & 1993 for the Australian team handbooks. Andrew Guerin developed and extended these histories to the current format in 2004 for publication in 2004 and then expanded the site.

Steve Roll has been an invaluable contributor to the website in locating errors and finding Christian names of rowers. His superb work is acknowledged.
