British rower
Andrew John Holmes MBE (15 October 1959 – 24 October 2010)[2] was a British rower .
Holmes was born in Uxbridge , Greater London, and was educated at Latymer Upper School in Hammersmith , west London, where he was coached by Olympic rowing silver medallist Jim Clark .[2] After leaving school, he rowed for Kingston Rowing Club and then Leander Club .[3] At the age of 19, he won the Thames Challenge Cup at Henley Royal Regatta .
He rowed twice in the Olympic Games (in 1984 and 1988 ) with Sir Steve Redgrave . He was a gold medalist in the men's coxed four in 1984 and in the men's coxless pair in 1988 , when he also took bronze in the coxed pair . He also rowed for England in the 1986 Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh , Scotland .[4] winning the coxed four and the coxless pair competitions.,[5]
