Some Rio Olympians may have been up the creek at the games, but that’s just the way Bombay-raised rower, Eric Murray, likes it!
The former Pukekohe High School student experienced yet another golden moment recently as he and crewmate, Hamish Bond, secured their second Olympic gold medal.
While the All Blacks’ record is certainly impressive, it pales in comparison to that of this ‘Kiwi Pair’.
Some Rio Olympians may have been up the creek at the games, but that’s just the way Bombay-raised rower, Eric Murray, likes it!
The former Pukekohe High School student experienced yet another golden moment recently as he and crewmate, Hamish Bond, secured their second Olympic gold medal.
While the All Blacks’ record is certainly impressive, it pales in comparison to that of this ‘Kiwi Pair’.
In their new autobiography, Eric and Hamish provide an in-depth account of their rise and rise in one of the world’s most hotly contested sports.
Although Hamish says: “When I first met Eric I thought he was an egotistical boofhead,” the pair (one an introvert, the other an extrovert) has formed a highly successful love-hate relationship.
From their early days to winning numerous world championship titles and (now) two Olympic gold medals, The Kiwi Pair shows how different strokes can function in perfect harmony.
