"I'm a pretty open person. I don't treat people any different for any reason. I don't hold anything back..."
Big, powerful, talented, and not given to long sentences, Nathan Rennie comprises the other half of the Syndicate Twin Towers Of Gravity. Come to think of it, given the size of Rennie and Peaty, they'd make a pretty good foundation to build a rugby team around...
Instead, it has been a life of bikes for Nathan. The Australian Institute of Sport tested him at over 1800 watts, which blows away all but the most serious track racers in terms of sheer output, and he was using flat pedals during the test. He recalls: "The AIS were heavily hinting that I do some track cycling for them, but I was having too much fun racing DH..."
Racing bikes since the age of 15, Rennie has grown into adulthood with downhilling paying the bills, bluntly stating: "I don't know what i'd be doing otherwise." Along the way has picked up a Junior World Championship (1999) and a senior overall World Cup title (2003). He finished out the 2006 season 4th overall in the World Cup and earned a Bronze medal at the World Championships in New Zealand.
That brings him into 2007 with some unfinished business to attend. "Last year I kinda mucked it up," he says, of the World Championships, before talking about the future. "One of the last things I haven't accomplished is a Senior World Championship. 2007 will be my 10th time at the Worlds, and I want to do well there."
