Rotorua's Julia Edward has won her second rowing World Cup gold medal.

Edward, who finished 9th in the lightweight double sculls at the London Olympics, won the World Cup lightweight single sculls final in Lucerne overnight. That follows her gold in the same event at last month's World Cup regatta in France.

Six Kiwi golds were won from 11 A finals, others to grab wins including both single scullers, Mahe Drysdale and Emma Twigg, the unbeatable men's pair of Hamish Bond and Eric Murray, the women's double of Zoe Stevenson and Fiona Bourke and lightweight men's four James Hunter, Peter Taylor, James Lassche and Curtis Rapley.

New Zealand has won the World Cup crown after finishing the three regattas with 141 points, 15 clear of Britain with Australia third on 125.

Crews now have another six weeks training, splitting into two camps - one in Switzerland followed by four weeks at Hazewinkel in Belgium, the other heading for Slovenia - before reassembling for the world championships in Amsterdam from August 24.
