'''The Gold Four''' ([[Danish language|Danish]]: ''Guldfireren'') is the nickname for a Danish men's lightweight [[coxless four]] crew who between 1994 and 2016 has won three [[Olympic Games|Olympic]] gold, one silver and two bronze, and eight gold and three silver medals at the [[World Rowing Championships|world championships]], making them one of the most successful crews in rowing history.<ref name="FISA profile">{{cite web | first=Svend Bertil | last=Frandsen |title= Danish national icon - the lightweight men's four |url= http://www.worldrowing.com/news/danish-national-icon-the-lightweight-men-four |publisher=[[International Rowing Federation]] |accessdate=11 November 2017 | date=20 June 2014}}</ref> There were 17 team members in total. The boat class was disestablished after the [[2017 World Rowing Championships]] to achieve gender equality in rowing, with the Danish team last competing at the 2016 Olympics.
 
==History==
[[Eskild Ebbesen]] was the sole constant crew member through the various combinations of crews from the conception of the The Gold Four in 1993 to his retirement at the 2012 Olympics (apart from 2009–10 when he had two years off rowing).<ref name="E Ebbesen" /> Other members of medal winning crews include [[Thomas Poulsen]] (1993–1999),<ref name="T Poulsen" /> [[Victor Feddersen]] (1993–2000),<ref name="V Feddersen" /> [[Niels Laulund Henriksen]] (1993–1996),<ref name="N Henriksen" /> [[Thomas Ebert]] (1996–2008),<ref name="T Ebert" /> [[Søren Madsen]] (2000–2002),<ref name="S Madsen" /> [[Thor Kristensen]] (2000–2005),<ref name="T Kristensen" /> and [[Mads KruseAndersen (rower)|Mads Andersen]] (2004–2008).<ref name="MK Andersen" /> There were 17 team members in total.
 
Ebbesen's retirement meant the end of a clear lineage through the crews, however his crew mates from the [[Rowing at the 2012 Summer Olympics – Men's lightweight coxless four|2012 Olympics]] have continued the heritage of the famous crew. Ebbesen won the [[Thomas Keller Medal]], the highest honour in rowing, in 2013 after his retirement from the sport at the age of 40.<ref>{{cite web |title= Most successful Danish sportsman awarded Thomas Keller Medal |url= http://www.worldrowing.com/news/most-successful-danish-sportsman-awarded-thomas-keller-medal- | date=12 July 2013 |publisher=[[International Rowing Federation]] |accessdate=11 November 2017}}</ref>

To achieve gender equality in rowing, FISA suggested early in 2017 to drop the lightweight men's four from the Olympic programme, and the recommendation was adopted by the executive board of the International Olympic Committee in June 2017.<ref>{{cite news|title=Women's four added to Olympic Games rowing programme, men's lightweight four scrapped |url= https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/other-sports/93627064/Womens-four-added-to-Olympic-Games-rowing-programme-mens-lightweight-four-scrapped |accessdate=10 November 2017 |work=[[Stuff.co.nz]] |date=13 June 2017}}</ref> After 23 entries to the [[2015 World Rowing Championships]], this plummeted to just six at the [[2017 World Rowing Championships]] after the demotion of the event, with no Danish crew nominated.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Dresser |first1=Erik |title=Sarasota 2017 Preview - The Fours |url=http://www.row2k.com/worlds/features.cfm?ID=5943|publisher=row2k.com |accessdate=11 November 2017 |date=20 September 2017}}</ref> Shortly after the 2017 championships, the FISA council voted to remove the lightweight men's four from the world championships with immediate effect.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Rowbottom |first1=Mike |title=Mike Rowbottom: The sinking of the men’s lightweight four - don’t blame the alligators |url= https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1056098/mike-rowbottom-the-sinking-of-the-mens-lightweight-four-dont-blame-the-alligators |accessdate=11 November 2017 |work=Insidethegames |date=5 October 2017}}</ref>
 
==Crew members and results==
There were a total of 17 crew members. The lowest placing of the Gold Four was in 2009, when the team reached ninth place.<ref name="2009 results" /> After the 2004 Summer Olympics, the team took a two-year break and did not start at the World Championships.<ref name="2005 results" /><ref name="2006 results" />
