Eric Murray

Murray, is one of the most recognisable faces of the sport after an eight-year unbeaten run in the coxless pair with Hamish Bond.

The “kiwi pair” teamed up in 2009 and have since been undefeated through 69 races, 24 regattas and produced six world titles as well as double Olympic gold. The pair also set the world best time of 6:08.50 at the London 212 Olympic Games, a record that still stands today.

Gold at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games capped off the incredible eight-year run of dominance, an historic feat of rowing by any boat.
