Jason Day

Jason Scott Day (born 28 November 1970) is an Australian rower who competed at three Olympic Games.

Club and state rowing Day commenced rowing with the Bendigo Rowing Club on their 500m Lake Waroona home water. His later senior club rowing when in elite Australian training programs was from the UTS Haberfield Rowing Club in Sydney.

Day first made state selection for Victoria in 1993 to contest the President's Cup - the Interstate single sculls title within the Australian Rowing Championships. He placed fourth that year. He contested further President's Cups in 1994, 1998 and 2001. He won that national title in 1994.

International representative rowing Day's national representative debut came in 1988 when he was selected as Australia's single sculls entrant for the 1988 Junior World Rowing Championships in Milan. He came second at the world junior championship and won a silver medal.

In 1990 aged nineteen he was elevated to the Australian senior squad and into the quad scull. He raced in the quad at the 1990 World Rowing Championships in Lake Barrington to a seventh-place finish. In the 2000 Olympic year they raced at two World Rowing Cups before coming to the Sydney 2000 where they made the final and finished in fourth place.

Although he'd made three Olympic appearances, Day's Australian representative career was not complete. He returned to the green and gold in 2003 at the World Rowing Cup III as a single sculler. Then in 2005 for the fourth time in his long national career he stepped back into the Australian quad scull, now with Craig Jones Chris Morgan and Trent Collins. In his last international campaign Day stroked the quad through a heat, repechage and semi to a fifth place in the B final for an overall eleventh placing at the 2005 World Rowing Championships in Gifu Japan.
