Twin Engined Sculls

Caroline and Georgina Evers-Swindell received the International Rowing Federation’s Female Rower or Crew of the Year Award at the annual FISA Coaches Conference in Athens this month. The twins won their second consecutive world championships title in August, and are now regarded as favourites to win gold in the double scull at next year’s Olympic Games. Says Rowing NZ chief executive, Craig Ross; “The award epitomises the twins’ absolute commitment to excellence. Caroline and Georgina’s performance reflects their physical and mental toughness on the international stage.”
