About me

Lachlan Tame is an Australian canoe sprinter. He won the bronze medal at the 2016 Summer Olympics at Rio de Janeiro in the K2 1000m alongside Olympic champion Ken Wallace. Based at the Avoca surf club, Tame had a $5000 bet with a mate that he could not make the London Olympics

Tame first achieved prominence when he won the single ski event at the 2011 Australian Surf Life Saving Championships, but his Canoe Sprint breakthrough came in 2014 when he partnered with Beijing 2008 gold medallist Ken Wallace to win World Championships silver in the K2 1000 metres.  

Honing his craft on open water, Tame is a multiple Australian Surf Life Saving Champion. The dominant ski paddler was inducted into the Surf Life Saving Australia Hall of Fame in 2015.    

That same year he and Wallace won gold in the K2 500m (non-Olympic) and silver in the K2 1000 at the World Championships, which took their 2015 World Series medal tally to seven.  

Tame made his Olympic debut at the Rio 2016 Games, where he teamed up with triple Olympian Ken Wallace in the K2 1000 to take home bronze. 

Following a break and surgery post-Rio, Tame returned for his second Olympic campaign in 2019 and led the men's K4 500 to a fourth place and quota spot at the World Championships.

In 2020, he teamed up with Olympic gold medallist Murray Stewart to win K2 1000 bronze at the 2020 Australian Canoe Sprint Championships and second Olympic selection event.
