1. Best thing about being on the 2012 Olympic team: Having my family, wife and two kids here in London is very special to share it with them and being part of our Australian Four.

2.Career highlight so far: 1996 Olympics and rowing with the Oarsome Foursome and winning Gold. Athens Gold and Beijing Gold.

4. And once it's all over? I can't wait to get back to St Kilda to have beer and burgers with friends and family.

5. Biggest tip for a beginner in your sport: Be prepared to work hard. Be coachable. Enjoy being part of a team.

6. Favourite motivational quote: If not now, when? If not me, who?

7. Song/artist that gets you pumped when training: I am not a big one for getting pumped up. So music would be cruise to stay relaxed and calm. Xavier Rudd, Let me be would be my choice.

8. Any secret talents? I sleep bloody well, not sure its a secret talent though.

9. Favourite Oakley product: Frog Skins
