The Queensland rowing legend joins a legion of sporting greats from the Sunshine State who have received the honour, including Allan Border, Kieren Perkins, Rod Laver, Wally Lewis and Cathy Freeman to name just a few.
“To be recognised alongside such notable and iconic names in Australian and international sport is incredibly special and I feel privileged and humbled,” Duncan Free said.
“For rowing to also be recognised gives me incredible pride as it’s a sport that brings out the best in an individual.”

A four-time Olympian, Duncan won bronze in the Quadruple Sculls at Atlanta in 1996 and competed at the highest level for the next 12 years culminating in a gold medal row with Drew Ginn in the Coxless Pair at the Beijing Olympics.
