SIR Steve Redgrave came out of retirement to win his 20th medal at the Royal Henley Regatta.

Redgrave was a shock entry at this year's regatta but the retired Olympic ace showed he has still got it as he helped the Leander quadruple scull claim victory in the Queen Mother Challenge Cup.

It was Redgrave's first competitive appearance since he announced his retirement from rowing after winning his fifth successive Olympic gold in Sydney last year.

Rowing at number two in the Leander quad he helped his crewmates to a two-and-three-quarter-length victory over the London Rowing Club.
