Xeno Müller
Xeno Müller (born 7 August 1972 in Zurich, Switzerland) is a Swiss rower and Olympic gold medallist. His first international appearance was at the 1990 Junior World Rowing Championships - winning bronze in his single scull. At senior level he won gold at the Atlanta Olympics in 1996 and silver at the 2000 Sydney Olympics - again in the single sculls. Having lived in the United States since 1992 (and attending Brown University) he was made US resident in early 2004. He then announced he would trial for the US team for the Athens Olympics. However he pulled out just before the trials started saying "When you have three children and a wife and you leave them, then leave them again to go overseas, and you see somebody's head getting cut off ... you start having clouds in your head for why you want to proceed like this, with all the responsibility about traveling, leaving the family, et cetera,".
