Search for Jim Walker on the internet, and it won’t be about rowing. Despite his list of rowing successes, the World Championship medallist and three-time Olympian has moved on from his former sporting life.

@hotelbeds do you manage reservations for @hotelscomhelp? I am trying to work out how a booking I made via https://t.co/5n7Ol0dG2c ended up being canceled by a Hotelbeds email to the hotel. https://t.co/5n7Ol0dG2c claiming booking still valid. Hotel is waving email from you guys.
@matthewcpinsent 100% agree. I noticed the same term (un-referenced) on the Wikipedia page for Team GB in Atlanta. Maybe that’s where Sky Sports does it’s research… https://t.co/A44jpqGja8
.@GabbyLogan 4th is not the cruellest place in Olympic Sport. It really isn’t.
It’s 4th in the Olympic Games. It might represent an all time personal highlight. Lets see if we can get another received wisdom about 4th going...

@AdrianEllison17 You forgot ‘84 spectacular 🥇 that got a generation of us started on this madness. Would you really not trade in the 5th+’s for 4ths even now? Even if just to keep umpire’s launch behind you….
Hopefully the debate on GBR performance at the rowing includes an opportunity to reflect on the arbitrary cut-offs between the value of bronze & 4th, top 6 and 6-12. Yes that’s the game, but compared to 1st vs not 1st, it is 100% an invented one.
@RowingVoice@graemercoleman Indeed I have. This is the breakdown for all countries with 5 or more boats. Obviously countries like NZL & AUS have done exceptionally well in converting finalists into medal, whereas GB had 75% of finalists finish 4th
