Megan Marcks

Megan Leanne Marcks (née Still), OAM (born 19 October 1972) is a former Australian representative and Olympic champion coxless pair rower who represented Australia at the Summer Olympics in 1992 and 1996.

Marcks was born in 1972 in Queanbeyan, New South Wales. She was selected by the Australian Institute of Sport as a candidate rower (based on physique and aerobic capacity) through their Talent Identification program in 1988, having had no former involvement with the sport, although Marcks had had a successful career as a junior athlete.

She initially competed at the Olympic-level in the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain, where her boat achieved the position of sixth in the women's coxless four final; team mates were Jodie Dobson, Emmy Snook, and Kate Slatter. Two years later, Slatter and Marcks achieved bronze in the women's four at the 1994 World Rowing Championships. At the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Slatter and Marcks—with Alison Davies and Victoria Toogood in the team—achieved a gold medal in the women's coxless pair, winning by 0.39 seconds over the American team.

Marcks and Slatter were the first Australian female rowing crew to win a gold medal at an Olympic Games.
