James Tomkins is an Australian rower and Olympic gold medallist.As an original member of Australia's Oarsome Foursome coxless fours crew, Tomkins won Olympic gold at the 1992 Summer Olympics and 1996 Summer Olympics. After the foursome lost the Australian selection trials for the coxless four, he switched to the coxless pairs, rowing with Drew Ginn, but his attempt to win a third consecutive Olympic gold at the Sydney 2000 Summer Olympics were scuppered by an injury to Ginn, and Tomkins finished third with substitute Matthew Long.
Returning to the coxless pairs in 2002, Ginn and Tomkins beat the heavily favoured British crew of Matthew Pinsent and James Cracknell in a world cup race before finishing fourth at the World Championships, but then won the 2003 world championships. With Pinsent and Cracknell moving to the coxless fours, Ginn and Tomkins became the gold medal winners of the coxless pairs at the 2004 Summer Olympics.
