2019 Summer Squad Announcement
Rowing NZ acknowledges the athlete and coach performances at the recent World Championships. To qualify 9 boats, to make progress with the M8+ and to be close with qualifying the M4x are all positive signs for Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024.
With less than 10 months before the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, Rowing NZ has named this summer squad to reflect the 2020 Olympic ambitions and our Paris 2024 outlook. The key goal now shifts to our current medal winning boats and to look for opportunities to enhance the performances of the remaining boats.
We reviewed all of our World Championship performances and although not yet qualified for Tokyo, Rowing NZ will use the summer period to further progress the Men’s Eight and Men’s Quadruple scull for consideration to attend the Final Olympic Qualification at the March National Selection Trial. Rowing NZ is not considering any other boat for this regatta.
Rowing NZ will also name our Rowing Performance Centre (RPC) squads by 20 September. The RPCs are the development programme for Rowing NZ’s high performance athletes, with the primary purpose to identify and develop pre-elite athletes capable of representing New Zealand in 2024 and 2028.
Assembly date - Monday 30 September at Rowing NZ with your own individual training commencing on or before Monday 23 September.
