Charity Fundraising Champion
As well as qualifying the single scull for the next Olympics, Peter Hardcastle has done something just as important: raising money for Brainwave, a very needy charity for kids with brain tumours and other brain disorders. Last Friday night at the Brainwave Ball at Luna Park one of the auction items was two coaching sessions with Peter.
This was a very generous donation for Peter to offer to give up some of his very valuable time preparing for the Olympics.The prize ...

Note from Amy
Hi everyone!!!
Just wanted to say thanks on behalf of all of us for all the support, it means so much. It was an amazing experience to say the least, and personally I struggled to keep positive through the toughest parts of it.
But knowing that we had the whole MRC team behind us was a huge spirit booster for me, so thank you all!!

World Champs - Day 8
Crunch day for the Aussies. It was cool but with no wind, so conditions were totally fair. Olympic qualifying beckoned, so even the B Finals were very competitive.
Forget about the race-by-race, here's the Mosman news: Amy did it!!! I must confess that I thought, based on their form in this regatta, that winning the B final was beyond them but they won comprehensively over Romania. Amy was over the moon - she told me afterwards that the winning change came ...

Note from Zoe
Hi All!
Well... just wanted to start by saying thank you to everyone for your support over not only the past week but the past 12 months.

Although I didn't qaulify the boat for Beijing, I have learnt much that can't be bought or told. It's something that I needed to learn by competing ...

World Champs - Day 7
The weather was as for yesterday: cool, with a slight cross-tail breeze. A curate's egg of a day - triumph but also bitter disappointments. There was plenty to race for even in the B Finals with Beijing qualifications hanging on the results, so the racing was intense.
First though, news about the Mosman girls. We took Zoe out for dinner last night, and Alfie and Amy twere there too. While Zoe is understandably upbeat (the Serbian girl she beat to win ...

World Champs - Day 6
The weather was cool, with a slight cross-tail breeze. Mixed, even disappointing, results for the Aussies with only two out of six crews qualifying for A Finals...but first: Zoe sculled really well to convincingly win the C Final (13th out of 29 scullers) and beat the Serbian girl who beat her in the heat. This was a great effort by Zoe, and she looks even better when we see the Swedish sculler (who beat her by only 3 seconds in ...
