EVENT: Men's Pair
Phillip Wilson will be attending his second Olympics, rowing in the Men's Coxless Pair. He won an Olympic gold medal as part of the New Zealand Men's Eight at Tokyo 2020.
The crew's journey to, and victory at, Tokyo was nothing short of remarkable. The eight originally missed out on qualification but secured their spot at the ‘last chance regatta' in Switzerland in May, 2021. They won the regatta and returned to New Zealand where they were required to undergo two weeks of managed isolation in individual hotel rooms, just over a month out from their departure to Japan.
Wilson hails from Wellington where he began his rowing at Wellington College before moving to Cambridge in 2018 after making the elite team.
