Robbie Manson won the NZ men’s single scull title and now wants to try his hand internationally in the boat.
Manson says he wants to be New Zealand’s men’s single scull representative at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
Manson, currently contesting the Rowing New Zealand elite trials at Lake Karapiro, said he’s ready for all the challenges that quest may throw at him – including competition from Mahe Drysdale and Hamish Bond.
The 27-year-old appears certain to be given the nod at the end of the week as the Kiwi men’s single sculler for two World Cup events in Europe this winter – and then for the world championships in the United States at the end of September.
