Guy Nickalls
Guy Nickalls (13 November 1866 – 8 July 1935) was a British rower who competed in the 1908 Summer Olympics as a member of the British eight that won gold, won 22 events at Henley Royal Regatta and won the Wingfield Sculls three times.
==Early life and education==
Nickalls was born at Sutton, then in Surrey, the son of Tom Nickalls (1827–1899) who was a stockjobber on the stock exchange and one of the founding members of London Rowing Club. His mother, Emily, was the first woman to climb Mont Blanc and Monta Rosa in the same week.〔Guy Nickalls ''Life's a pudding :an autobiography'' 1939〕 Guy was one of twelve children, of whom his brother Vivian was also a successful oarsman.
Nickalls was educated at Eton College where he was known as "Luni" due to his reckless behaviour. He played football with success, and when not engaged in athletically breaking his bones or risking his neck, he would row. At Eton he won the Junior Sculling in 1884, the School Pulling in 1885/86, and School Sculling in 1885. His ability was soon noticed and he secured the four seat in the Eton Eight, carrying off the Ladies' Challenge Plate at Henley Royal Regatta in 1885.
Nickalls went up to Magdalen College, Oxford, in 1886.〔M. Blandford-Baker, Upon the Elysian Stream, 2008〕 At Oxford he won the University Sculls in 1887, the University Pairs in 1888, 1889 and 1890 – with W.F.D. Smith once and twice with Lord Ampthill – and the University Fours in 1886, 1887, 1888 and 1889. He went head of the river in 1888 with Magdalen, and rowed for Oxford in the Boat Race for five years from 1887 to 1891 losing three races and winning two. He was O.U.B.C. President in 1890.〔 During his time at Oxford he showed his prowess as a sculler winning the Wingfield Sculls in 1887 when his defeated opponents were "Jumps" Gardner and Steve Fairbairn, 1888 when he beat Gardner again and 1889 when no one would race against him.〔(Wingfield Sculls Record of Races )〕 He lost the Diamond Challenge Sculls in 1887 to Gardner, but won in 1888, 1889 and 1890, beating Gilbert Kennedy in the last year. In 1890 he also won Silver Goblets partnering Lord Ampthill.
