His Olympic journey began with a Gold in the Coxed Fours at the Los Angeles Games. He followed this with victories in the Coxless Pairs at the Seoul Olympics, again with Matthew Pinsent in 1992, 1996, and finally in the Coxless Fours at Sydney. After his win in Atlanta, Steve was already considered the greatest rower of all time. In 1997, he committed to competing in Sydney, aiming for a fifth consecutive gold, solidifying his status as one of the greatest athletes in Olympic history.

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more.

Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
