Oar of NZ's first official Olympic medallist returned to Auckland rowing club
A rowing oar that belonged to the first Olympic medallist for New Zealand in the early 1900s has been returned to its rightful home – a rowing club in West Auckland.
Kiwi rower Darcy Hadfield was a member of Waitematā Rowing Club, located in Auckland’s Te Atatū Peninsula, when he won a bronze medal at the 1920 Olympics.
He was the country’s eighth Olympian but its first official winner, with all New Zealand winners having previously represented Australasia.
