KYLE HAMILTON
Olympic Gold Medalist

Olympic Moments: Shaping Excellence and Defining Leadership

Biography

As Captain and stroke seat of the Canadian Men’s Eight Rowing team, three-time World Champion Kyle Hamilton led his team to Canada’s first Men’s Rowing Olympic Gold Medal in 16 years at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

The UBC graduate has been a key member of the dominant Canadian Men’s rowing program since his first international race in 2002. During his seven years on the Canadian National Rowing Team, Kyle was instrumental in the resurrection of the men's program to an elite level after several quadrennials of mediocre performances. In seven years of competition, Hamilton has won fifteen international medals in both the Pair and the Eight, as well as leading the Eight to the World Cup points title in 2007. Kyle is also a two-time national pairs champion.

He holds a BA in English and History from the University of British Columbia and is currently completing his law degree at the University of Victoria. He has been recognized by his peers, coaches, and Rowing Canada as the unquestioned leader of the Olympic champion crew.

Clients Comments

"UNBELIEVABLE!!! Thank you for your role in making this Summit unforgettable. You cannot imagine the comments after your presentation. It was very “real” for people and they were riveted by your comments and explanation of the preparation up to, and including the Gold medal win. Very few of us can truly appreciate the complete sacrifice, devotion, commitment, drive, passion, focus, and iron will that it takes to perform at such a high level. You have truly demonstrated that kind of human spirit that most of us only get glimpses of in our dreams. Thank you for being truly inspiring."
