Jonathan Fievez

Fievez made his Australian representative debut aged seventeen as a sculler selected to race in an U23 quad scull at the 1995 World Rowing U23 Championships in Groningen. They finished in overall seventh place.^[4] That same year the same quad competed at the 1995 Junior World Rowing Championships in Poznan. The whole Australian squad were thrown into disarray by a severe bout of food poisoning suffered at the regatta accommodation. The quad raced anyway and placed seventh overall.^[4]

In 1996 Fievez was picked in the Australian double scull at the 1996 Junior World Rowing Championships in Glasgow. Racing in the final with Timothy Perkins, they were fifth at the 500m mark, took the lead by the 1000m and held off a fast finish from the Yugoslavs to win by 0.18 secs and take the gold.^[5]

In 1999 Fievez was selected in the Australian senior squad and with Matthew O'Callaghan, he raced a double scull at the 1999 World Rowing Championships in St Catharines Canada. They finished overall seventeenth.^[4] By 2003 Fievez had switched to sweep-oared boats and was back in representative contention. With his West Australian team-mate Luke Pougnault he contested the coxless pair at the World Rowing Cup III in Lucerne and then at the 2003 World Rowing Championships they raced as a coxed pair with Marc Douez up front. They won a silver World Championship medal.^[4]

In stillwater retirement Fievez took up surfboat rowing and surf ski racing. He was in a North Cottesloe Beach SLSC boat with David Porzig (another Australian representative stillwater rower) which won the open men's surfboat category at the World Surflifesaving Championships in Victoria in 2006.^[6] As of 2014 Fievez was still competing in master's events in single surf skis.
