Australia has a long and proud in history in rowing that dates back to our nation's first gold medal on the water in 1928, when Henry Pearce won the single scull.

Since then, Australia has claimed another 31 medals, including nine more golds, to cement its reputation as a world leader in the sport. Watch for Drew Ginn, who is chasing his fourth gold medal from four Olympics.

Our paddlers are also aiming high, following three slalom medals comprising two silvers and a bronze.

AUSSIES TO WATCH

Men's Four

Rowing

Triple Olympic champion Drew Ginn has taken young Victorian Josh Dunkley Smith under his wing to form the nucleus of Australia's priority men's boat which won bronze in August's world titles. Nick Purnell and Sam Loch are hoping to join them in ending Britain's domination of the event. Men's Quad Scull. (Getty)

Men's Quad Scull

Rowing

Dan Noonan, Karsten Forsterling, James McRae and Chris Morgan will look to add Olympic gold to their mantle as world champions. The quartet enjoyed their fair share of luck at the world titles in Slovenia when Germany caught a crab near the finish line, but the Australians are a well-grooved combination who will be full of confidence.

Rowing

Anthony Edwards, 38, broke through for his first ever world title when his boat - also including fellow Tasmanian Sam Beltz and WA duo Todd Skipworth and Ben Cureton - chased down Italy to win a surprise gold in Slovenia. The "mighty lighties" aren't guaranteed selection but are in the box seat. Kerry Hore and Kim Crow. (Getty)

Women's Double Scull

Rowing

Kerry Hore and Kim Crow stand as two of Australia's most experienced oarswomen and have enjoyed strong success in the double together over the past two years. The pair took silver at the world titles, cutting the dominant British crew's gap on the field from six seconds in 2010 to 1.25 in August. Ken Wallace (Getty)

Kayak

The Beijing gold medallist endured a poor 2011 and world championships campaign due to illness. He can't defend his title in London as the K1 500m race has been scrapped but is better suited to the longer K1 1000m. Alana Nicholls (Getty)

Kayak

The Perth youngster has usurped the seasoned Jo Brigden-Jones as the nation's fastest flatwater kayaker. She capped her rise with a maiden World Cup title before finishing fifth at the world titles.
