Anna Ozolins

In 1999 the women's heavyweight event at the Interstate Regatta switched into coxed eights. Ozolins stroked the 2001 South Australian eight to a fifth placing.

Ozolins was back in Australian representative crews in 1998 and at two World Rowing Cups in Europe and at the 1998 World Rowing Championships in Cologne she stroked the eight and rowed in a coxless pair with Jodi Winter. At the World Championships the eight placed fourth and the pair seventh. She held her seat as stroke of the Australian women's eight into 1999 when she set the pace at the WRC III in Lucerne and then at the 1999 World Rowing Championships in St Catharines where in her last Australian appearance the eight finished in fifth place.

In 1994 she was back in the South Australian senior women's four which that year won the ULVA Trophy at the Interstate Regatta and was again in the SA four in 1995. In 1997 Ozolins took a scholarship to the Australian Institute of Sport and that year stroked the Australian Capital Territory women's four at the Interstate Regatta.

At the 1994 World Rowing Championships in Indianapolis Ozolins and Klomp rowed the coxless pair to a bronze medal and were seated together in the stern end of the Australian women's eight who finished in sixth place. In 1995 the stern five of the eight were again all South Australians including Ozolins again at stroke. They missed the A final and finished in eight place.

Other than some seat changes that eight of 1994 and 1995 was largely unchanged for the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and Ozolins moved into the four seat. The crew with an average age of 22, had to qualify for the Games through the qualification regatta in Lucerne (SUI). The fifth placing in the final was better than predicted form and excellent when compared to the experience in the other crews.

She first contested the Australian Rowing Championships in 1991 when she placed second in the U19 national single scull title behind her Port Adelaide teammate Carmen Klomp-Wearne with whom she would go on to row at state and national representative levels.

She made her first state representative appearance for South Australia, one month after her seventeenth birthday in the 1991 women's four which contested the ULVA Trophy at the Interstate Regatta within the Australian Rowing Championships. In 1992 she rowed in the South Australian youth four.

Ozolins and Klomp made their Australian representative debut together in a double scull contesting the 1991 Junior World Rowing Championships in Banyoles. They rowed to a fifth placing. The following year at the 1992 Junior World Rowing Championships in Montreal, Ozolins and Klomp rowed the double scull to a silver medal.
