More on Rowing New Zealand
Description from Wikipedia:
Rowing New Zealand is sport governing body for rowing in New Zealand. Its purpose is to provide leadership and support to enable an environment of success for the New Zealand rowing community. This includes secondary schools, clubs, masters, universities and high performance.
Rowing New Zealand was originally founded as the New Zealand Amateur Rowing Association on the 16th March 1887. The New Zealand Amateur Rowing Association was formed by nine clubs in an effort to coordinate and regulate the sport of amateur rowing in New Zealand.
In recent years Rowing New Zealand has had exceptional success on the water, which has resulted in increased media interest in the sport of rowing and record participation at secondary school level. This increase in the number of active rowers has been attributed in particular to Rob Waddell's gold medal victory at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. There have also been increases, particularly in the number of women rowers, since Georgina Evers-Swindell and Caroline Evers-Swindell won gold at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games.
More recently, the 2008 Olympic trials gained intense public and media interest as previous Olympic champion Rob Waddell challenged current world champion Mahe Drysdale for the sole men’s single sculls spot. The trials began in March 2008 and the first two races of the trials were close, with each sculler winning one race. In the final race, Waddell suffered a repeat of his atrial fibrillation condition, resulting in Drysdale claiming the victory and the sole 2008 Olympic single sculls spot. Rob Waddell will now be competing at the 2008 Olympics in the men's double sculls with Nathan Cohen.
