A Record Number rowers representing Tasmania
A record number of Tasmanian’s will represent Australia at the Beijing Olympics starting on the 8th of August.
12 Tasmanian out of a squad off 44 will travel to Beijing, including a paralympic athlete and three coaches. I believe the paralympian is Dominic Moneypenny.
Tasmanian Institute of Sport rowing coach, Ron Batt, says:
“I think it shows it’s in a very healthy state, you know, we’re a very small part of the overall Australian population and to have this many people in the team, its fantastic”.
