The New Zealand men's rowing eight have survived on and off the water to qualify the boat for the Tokyo Olympics.
The crew has triumphed at the Regatta of Death in Lucerne in a week overshadowed by the use of QR codes, masks, hand sanitiser, temperature checks and gated areas
around the Rotsee course.
New Zealand's crew won the preliminary men's eight race on Friday night local time against Romania, China and Italy, and needed to finish in the top two of last night's final to secure Olympic selection.
Originally scheduled to be held tonight (NZT) the final was brought forward after bad weather was forecasted in Lucerne.
The eight now return home to MIQ, and potentially rowing on ergs in their hotel rooms.
