Tokyo 2020 medallists shine bright at Hancock Prospecting rower of the year awards
Australia’s Olympic champion rowing crews – the men’s and women’s fours – have won their respective male and female crew of the year awards at Rowing Australia’s 2021 Hancock Prospecting Rower of the Year Awards. “I’m honoured to receive the Gina Rinehart rowing leadership award for Rowing Australia and for our performances in 2021. I’m absolutely chuffed to receive this award, it’s a huge honour,” Cameron said. “I wouldn’t have been able to achieve what I did last year with my three other crewmates in Tokyo without the help and support of Mrs Rinehart. To receive this award is truly memorable and it will go right next to my Olympic bronze medal as a highlight of my career. Rowing Australia CEO Ian Robson said: “We congratulate and thank all the athletes, coaches, administrators and volunteers for all their hard work and sacrifice. Particularly the families and friends and club communities who have supported unconditionally the dreams and aspirations of all of our Olympic and Paralympic athletes.
