Valent Sinković is described in the public record as Croatian rower. Born in Zagreb, Croatia, in 1988.
Valent Sinković (born 2 August 1988) is a Croatian rower. He is the older brother of fellow rower Martin Sinković, with whom he has won three Olympic gold medals. The brothers are the most decorated Croatian Summer Olympians in history and won the gold medal in the double sculls at the 2016 Summer Olympics, the coxless pair at the 2020 Summer Olympics and the coxless pair at the 2024 Summer Olympics, and the silver medal in the quadruple sculls at the 2012 Summer Olympics together with David Šain and Damir Martin. Sinković is a six-time world champion, twice in quadruple sculls, double sculls and coxless pair each, and seven-time European champion, with four titles in double sculls and three titles in coxless pair. He is also a two-time U23 world champion in quadruple sculls with his brother, Šain and Martin.
Valent Sinković is recorded among the figures by whom gymnastics is remembered, and the surviving account of that career is the basis on which the reputation rests.
Gymnastics is judged rather than timed, and its code of points is rewritten between Olympic cycles, which makes cross-era comparison difficult.
