Christopher Gore "Chris" Penny (born May 4, 1962 in Morristown, New Jersey) is an American former competitive rower and Olympic silver medalist. He was a member of the American men's eights team that won the silver medal at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, California.[1]
A 1984 graduate of Princeton University, Penny studied at St John's College, Oxford,[2] and took part in The Boat Race in 1988 after being left off the squad in 1987 when he, three other American oarsmen, and an American coxswain protested Oxford coach Daniel Topolski's training regimen (an incident known as the "The Oxford Boat Race Mutiny").
