Matthew Dallow (born 27 January 1972) is a New Zealand bobsledder. He competed in the two man event at the 2006 Winter Olympics.[1]
He turned to bobsleigh after successive injuries forced him to give up his career in the decathlon and in rugby. Prior to bobsleigh, he was an All-American decathlete for the Arizona Wildcats track and field team, placing 7th at the 1993 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships. He was an All-American two years after René Schmidheiny, another Arizona decathlete who transitioned to Olympic bobsled.[2] Injury also prevented him at the last minute from competing in the 2002 Olympics.[3][4]
Dallow is the son of Ross Dallow and the younger brother of New Zealand television news anchor Simon Dallow.[5]
