Deborah Kirsty "Debbie" Flood (born 27 February 1980) is an English female rower, noteworthy for winning Silver Medals in the Quadruple Sculls at both the 2004 and 2008 Olympic Games.

Flood was born in Harrogate, Yorkshire, and was a Great Britain junior judo international and a county level 1500m and cross–country runner and shot–putter before she took up rowing.

She won a Bronze medal at the 1998 World Junior championships in the Double sculls along with partner Frances Houghton. The following year they both won Gold in the Double sculls at the World Under 23 Championships.

In 2000 Flood won Gold in the Single Sculls at the World Under 23 Championships.

At the 2006 World Championships, Flood originally finished in the silver medal position in the Quadruple Sculls, but was elevated to Gold after one of the Russian crew failed a drugs test.[1]

Having taken a year off in 2009, Flood returned to take World Championships Gold again in 2010, in the quad sculls with Beth Rodford, Frances Houghton, and Annie Vernon.

Debbie is a Christian and a prominent member of Christians in Sport[2]
