Description
Clint Robinson Performance & Excellence – Training  is regarded as the greatest competitor in the history of Surf Lifesaving. He has won Australian titles in the ski and board races and also won the board rescue, board relay, double ski, ski relay and taplin relay, all with the one Club, Maroochydore, where he joined at 6 years old. But it is his 13 open age individual Single Ski titles that allow him stand alone as the most successful individual in any event in the sports history, with fellow Australian Ky Hurst second on 10 for his surf race achievements. These achievements combined with his total of 36 National titles has Robinson as the most successful competitor in Australian Surf Life Saving History (Trevor Hendy won 24). As a 20 year old at the 1992 Barcelona Olympic games he became Australia’s first ever Canoe/Kayak Gold medalist competing in Canoeing’s Men’s K-1 1000m Final when he defeated the Norwegian World Champion Knut Holmann, holding off sustained challenges from Greg Barton (US) and Marin Popescu (Romania), and emptying every reserve of energy in a finish that edged out the favourite Holmann. Afterwards he was so dehydrated that he was unable to produce a urine sample for doping analysis for six hours . Clint continued his competitive career for an incredible total of 5 Olympic games - from Barcelona to Beijing! In this episode, Clint shares stories of the origins of the Australian Institute for Sport for his sport in 1981, the conversation with his Dad that changed his mind set, and honest insights into a humble, down to earth, hard working champion.
