New Zealander Rob Waddell is the 2000 Olympic Champion in the 1X and Mahe Drysdale is the 2006-2007 World Champion in the 1X. Waddell left the sport after 2000 to race in New Zealand's America's Cup team and has since returned to rowing in a big way. In a recent race Waddell defeated Drysdale by a little over 4 seconds. There is some debate over how to best select who will represent New Zealand at the Olympics (knowing that the sculler will have a reasonable shot at a gold medal). The US uses a best-of-three scenario to select small boats for the Olympics and World Championships. What do you think is the best way? Post your thoughts to comments.
