He won the gold medal with the Holland Acht (Holland Eight) at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. He earned silver medals in the Men's Quadruple Sculls (Sydney 2000) and in the Men's Eights (Athens 2004).[1] After becoming a coach, he rejoined the national team in 2007,[2] placing fourth at the Beijing Olympics (2008) and fifth at the London Olympics (2012), both in the Dutch Men's Eights.[1] He trained for his sixth Olympics in Rio de Janeiro 2016, but was not selected for the Dutch team.

Simon auctioned off his Olympic gold medal to raise money for Nereus Rowing Club in Amsterdam.[3] He left his second silver medal in an Athens taxi but it was returned to him after he reported the loss to the police.[4]
