Rowing greatest team Hamish Bond and Eric Murray has won New Zealand’s first gold at the Rio Olympics. Bond and Murray sat in about third position over the first time ever 500m of the 2000m race. At the 1500m the rest of the field were simply battling it out for second with Bond and Murray, two and a half lengths in front.
While the South African crew pegged back some of that lead over the final 500m to finish second, the New Zealanders won by over a boat length with Italy third.
