 “Any competitor who has had a long and successful rowing career and who has made an outstanding contribution to rowing as a competitor and as sports personality will be considered for this honour. In principle, only one medal may be awarded in any one year.”
Profile of the Candidates - The following five factors are taken into consideration when selecting the successful recipient:
1. Success at the international level, e.g. medal count taking level of competition into account;
2. “Type” of career e.g. overcoming obstacles, shortcomings;
3. Technical mastery of the sport e.g. success in different boat types as well as sculling and sweep rowing;
4. Sportsmanship e.g. respect for others, attitude, character, “smiling win or lose”;
5. “Legendary” aspect e.g. how the rower is perceived by the rowing world and the world outside rowing.
In principle, the medal may be awarded to someone up to five years after their official retirement.
