Graeme Edward Thomas (born 8 November 1988) is a British rower.[1]

Rowing career

[edit]

Thomas competed at the 2013 World Rowing Championships in Chungju, where he won a bronze medal as part of the quad sculls with Sam Townsend, Charles Cousins and Peter Lambert.[2] The following year he competed at the 2014 World Rowing Championships in Bosbaan, Amsterdam, where he won a silver medal as part of the quadruple sculls with Townsend, Cousins and Lambert.[3][4]

He was selected for the quadruple sculls for the 2016 Olympics, but illness forced him to withdraw shortly before racing started.[5] He won a silver medal at the 2017 World Rowing Championships in Sarasota, Florida, as part of the quadruple sculls with Jack Beaumont, Jonathan Walton and John Collins.[6]

In 2021, he won a European bronze medal in the double sculls in Varese, Italy.[7] Then he won the Diamond Challenge Sculls (the premier event for single sculls) at the Henley Royal Regatta.[8]
