WINDSOR, England (AP) — Hamish Bond and Eric Murray of New Zealand maintained their three-year unbeaten run by winning gold Thursday in the men’s pair at the Olympic rowing regatta.
Bond and Murray, one of the most dominant crews in world rowing, won in 6 minutes, 16.65 seconds. France was two lengths behind to take silver and Britain won bronze.
The Kiwi pair haven’t lost a race since joining forces after the 2008 Beijing Games, where they were part of a quadruple sculls boat that failed to reach the final despite being gold-medal favorites.
