RIO DE JANEIRO -- A student budget and a love of beer has landed Australian rower Chris Morgan at the Rio Olympics.Morgan is competing in his third Olympics, this time partnering David Watts in the mens double scull after winning bronze in the quad in London.Arriving at university in 2003 Adelaide Morgan had no plans of being a rower let alone a three-time Olympian and medallist.I never really envisioned myself being an elite athlete, the South Australian said.I was looking for a way to avoid going to uni bar every afternoon and there was a comp on the ergometer to win a case of beer so I thought `You beauty and gave it a go and the rest is history.Im damn glad they put on that case of beer.From that Morgan said he did the unis learn to row program and his potential was identified by the head coach, which eventually led him to the Olympics.While Morgan, 33, is the oldest man in the Australian rowing team, West Australian Watts is an Olympic debutant but is a proven performer.He was part of the mens quad scull that finished second at the 2015 world championships before the seats were reshuffled this year and a new double combination formed.The lack of time together will make it tough for Morgan to add to his Olympic medal collection, going up against world champion Croatian brothers Martin and Valent Sinkovic and in-form Kiwi crew Robert Manson and Chris Harris.This time around compared to London as Im coming into a different boat class with a guy Ive never rowed internationally with before this year, Morgan said.Theres been a lot of challenges developing the chemistry and working out how each other ticks and how we row and trying to get on the same page.While its been several months thats gone by in a flash were going to go out there and do our thing.Cheap Wholesale Nike Sb Shoes .
