From Sunday Morning, 8:30 am on 24 March 2024

Former Olympic rower Tony Brook was a member of the gold medal-winning eight-seater team at the 1982 World Rowing Championships in Switzerland – with the team beating sporting powerhouses East Germany and the Soviet Union to the line

In 1995 that victorious team was recognised by the New Zealand Sports Hall of Fame.
