Notes

Tokyo 2020, rowing outfit worn by Olympic champion Hamish BOND (NZL). After winning his second Olympic title in 2016, the three-time Olympic champion decided to take a break from rowing and start a cycling career. He began with road cycling and then, in 2019, he tried track cycling and became the New Zealand individual pursuit champion. But, after failing to be selected for the world track championships, in March 2019 he started rowing training again, with a view to being a member of the New Zealand eight at the Tokyo 2020 Games, where he won his third Olympic gold medal.
