		In 1997, he won a seat in the men's coxless fours, with Steve Redgrave, Matthew Pinsent and Tim Foster.
		However, in 2003 a disappointing season was capped by a failure to win the World Championships, and Pinsent and Cracknell were shifted into the coxless four, with Steve Williams and originally Alex Partridge, with Ed Coode replacing the injured Partridge for the 2004 Summer Olympics.
		On 4 March 2006 it was announced that his house had been broken into and his Olympic gold medals had been stolen, also taken were his wedding ring and a lap-top computer containing 20,000 words of a new book and family photographs [1].
