Get to Know the Athletes:

William Peter Simpson Crothers is the veteran of this boat, having won Silver in London 2012 and competed in Rio 2016. A spiritual experience in the woods near Whistler, BC convinced this man that his rowing journey was not over yet, and pushed him to Tokyo 2020.

Gavin Stone has the lungs and the muscle. Hailing from Island Lake Rowing Club in Orangeville, ON, this gentleman is pursuing chemical engineering and wastewater management.

Luke Gadson was inspired to pursue his Olympic Journey by 2012 Olympian, Doug Csima at the Leander Club in Hamilton, Ontario. He is an aspiring Journeyman Electrician.

Jakub Buczek started his career as a lightweight but has since built out his body to be a competitor in the heavyweight competition. Raided in Boston, and schooled at Columbia University, this athlete took advantage of his dual citizenship to row for Canada.

Josh King got his start at the Ottawa Rowing Club in Ontario. He is another former lightweight that contributes real speed to the heavy men's four and is part of this crew as the spare.
