13/3/2004 12:59 Tomkins on 4 & his last row
Was that the last time you will see you racing in a four in Australia?
"Quite possibly. Everything now is going to be the last time, this the last time we are going to paddle back from here. No I have not really thought about being the last time."
It is great to jump in the boat with Drew and these two guys to get a real quality four on the water. Half an hour row to the start and that is it, and we can still go down the track pretty quickly. It has been alot of fun doing that."
Regarding the Kings Cup:
"It is going to be a good race, NSW has got six guys from the Olympic Team in thier eight and two guys out of the four that they came 4th last year. On paper you would have to say they are red hot favourities. But never discount the big white V"

That is the third one in a row,
12/3/2004 07:44 Duncan Free
I wanted to establish a lead early so I could not stress too much at the finish because of the pairs race later on. You get a bit crook after the race not much out of the ordinary
7/3/2004 16:49 James Tomkins, re F1 win
"Absolutley pumped about winning"
As good as Olmypic Gold Medal: "Almost as good as winning a gold medal"
On the possibility of taking up F1 racing after Athens: "They will have to build a 12ft car."
