Over the years Rowing New Zealand has produced some of New Zealand's most memorable sporting moments and successful athletes.
In recent times iconic names such as Rob Waddell, Mahe Drysdale and Caroline and Georgina Evers-Swindell have produced golden moments to continue that legacy of success. Mighty River Power is proud to have contributed to that success, through our long standing sponsorship of Rowing New Zealand.
Based at Mighty River Domain, Rowing New Zealand’s elite crews train year-round on Lake Karapiro, which is recognised internationally as a world class stretch of water for competitive rowing. Mighty River Power and Rowing New Zealand work together throughout the rowing season, to deliver the best possible rowing conditions for events hosted on the lake.
Mighty River Power is proud to have assisted in providing additional sponsorship in support of Rowing New Zealand’s winning bid for the 2010 World Championships, which will see the event held in New Zealand for the first time in 32 years. Lake Karapiro previously hosted a very successful and memorable Championships in 1979. Waipa District Council is undertaking significant site and facility upgrades on Mighty River Domain in advance of 2010, which will ensure a top class venue for this significant international event.
The company wishes the elite rowing crews a very successful training season in the build up to the World Rowing Championships at Lake Karapiro. We look forward to supporting our athletes on their home stretch of water in 2010.
