Interview with Anthony Edwards

AN interview with Derwent Valley Olympian Anthony Edwards has been posted on the Tasmanian Institute of Sport's YouTube channel. The seven minute clip focuses on Edwards' preparation for the London Games this August, which will be his fifth Olympics.

The current world champion rower has won silver and bronze medals at previous Olympiads and with retirement beckoning he is hoping to complete the set with Olympic gold. The 39-year-old Molesworth man is in Europe for the 2012 rowing world cup, along with fellow Derwent Valley Olympic rowers Dana Faletic, Kate Hornsey and Kerry Hore.

Edwards was recently named Rowing Tasmania's oarsman of the year, jointly awarded to team-mate Sam Beltz. Kerry Hore was named Tasmanian oarswoman of the year.
