The JM4+ Final and the Silver Medal - photos

This is how the final panned out.  Coming past the stand at 150m or so from the finish.
We gained a little more on the Aussies towards the end but couldn't pull them in.
So it was Gold for Australia, we got the Silver Medal and the Italians the Bronze.

Rowing back to the podium after the race.

Congrats

The walk to the podium

The Heat photos

Here we are, coming past the stand near the finish leading the field and with the Germans in second.

Afterwards, time for a quick catch-up with our supporters and a team photo. 

The Heat

This morning we woke up to the first rainy day in about two weeks, just our luck! After a quick breakfast we headed down the lake to prepare for our first race at the Junior World Champs.

The atmosphere here is awesome and the facilities that are provided are top notch so there is very minimal hassle to get our act together and prepare for the race.

Its nerve racking times rowing down to the start but we managed to keep our cool and cross the line in first place!

With that result we gain confidence and a place in the A final which will be raced on saturday afternoon, (alas early sunday morning for those in nz).

Bring on the world!

Racing Time

Hi everyone back in New Zealand! our heat is today at 9:48am our time here in London, so thats 8:48pm NZ time. We have Germany, USA, and France in our heat, and the progression is 1-2>A-Final. Thank you all for the good lucks and support. You can keep up with the action on this website http://www.worldrowing.com/live-results. It's business time.

Athletes from all over the world

Most of the other countries have arrived in the Athletes Village now. It has been interesting seeing the way each country's athletes row and behave in general. With the new faces in camp it has been made clear to us by the coaches not to get caught up in all the hype, and remember what we are all here for. The regatta set up is starting to take shape, with all the officials towers being built and all boat racks being filled it's looking pretty spectacular. I noticed today that there is even an athletes only massage room! The training sessions have been going well and all the NZ crews are feeling confident going into racing, which starts only three days from now. Thank you again for all the support you have given us, now it is our turn to do the business.

Almost there!

Over the past week we have entered the final phases of our campaign, we have settled into our life here in London and are kicking forward with our training.
We are producing some desireable speeds in every row and we are confident leading into next week.
The arrival of the Aussies and Argentinians yesterday has given us a glimpse of the opposition and amped us up even further.
As more of our competitors start to arrive we look to work out any kinks that we have our boat and move forward to achieve our ultimate goal.
We are staying at the Royal Holloway University which is an impressive establishment, it has an amazing main block of brick and turrets and great facilities surrounding it.
Everyone was excited to discover that we would get our own room with a double bed and ensuite; a welcome relief after 2 months of rooming together in close quarters!
The food is also of a high standard and it is good to know that we are still getting the right kind of sustinance that we need to perform

Eton College Rowing Course

With a school campus that take around 15 mins to DRIVE through it's no surprise that this school has its very own rowing course. 8 Lanes, an island in the middle for spectators to watch from and a warm up channel off to the side, we're definitely lucky to be able to train and compete here! Below is their boathouse, six bays packed full of boats. And our coach Gary explained to us that every single one of the boats belong to the college.

Two Grammar boys made it all the way here, proud to rep the blue and gold.

Afternoon off at Henley

This mornings training concluded the first week of training over here in London. With sore bodies all over it was nice to have an afternoon off to enjoy one of the biggest venues in the rowing world, the Henley river rowing course. We all jumped in the vans and set off to Henley. Walking down the path by the river was incredible, the sun was out, and even on our afternoon off we found ourselves wanting to go out rowing on it!

We had a look through the river rowing museum, and after walking around for about half an hour the team found Louis, Alice and Catherine getting stuck into some colouring in in the kiddie corner. On the walk back to the vans Adam stumbled across "Adam House" and couldn't resist.

Livin' in London

After over 20 hours of cramming into tiny aeroplane seats we've finally made it. We stopped of at Singapore airport and had a swim to relax between the flights. Everyone loved walking through the airport and catching the trains that ran from section to section. Trains to get around an airport!

We jumped back on the plane, an A380 this time and started the journey to London. After popping a few sleeping pills the whole team was out. They definitely didnt design aeroplane seats with rowers in mind! A coach picked us up from the airport and drove us to the Royal Holloway University of London where we are living for the next 3 weeks.

We're off!

Arrived in good time at the airport and just a few last minute adjustments needed for the weight limit!   The Legion of Rowers put on morning tea for us and gave us some good advice about enjoying the experience and reminding us what it means to represent NZ........................This is not a row suit; this is a portal through which rowers pass. This is not material; this is the fabric that binds us together. This is not a souvenir; this is a reminder of all who have worn it before us. This is not black; this is the absence of fear. This is not a uniform; this is a country unified. This is not a row suit only a crew wears; this is a row suit fitted for four million people. This is victory and loss; but will not be defeated. This is everything but a row suit

 

Emerging from the fog - our final row at Karapiro

Our time trial was canned this morning because of fog.  But we enjoyed our final row before heading up to Auckland to catch the plane tomorrow.  If you look carefully at the top right of the photo you can see Riordan coming down in the single!



The Boys in Black

Team kits have arrived! After a racing suit presentation, all the team were given a gear bag full of goodies from the New Zealand Rowing clothing sponsor 2XU. Now we'll definitely look the part overseas. The winter jackets are getting a fair amount of use daily, especially in the freezing cold mornings. Here's a taste of the team uniform:

Racing

After a week easing off the kms we have finally reached our last weekend of racing. Today the whole Junior squad competed in the first of three 2km races. We pulled off a good performance and were pleased with our race as we executed our race plan well and topped the prognostics. The next two days we will look to better our time and work on aspects of the race that we need to improve.

The Big Man

In the middle of a session, Gary yells at us from across the lake, pushing us towards the golden standard. It seemed to work well with us coming off water shattered but happy with our performance
