NEW Zealand's Hamish Bond and Eric Murray set a new men's pairs rowing world record in the Olympic heats yesterday, smashing the mark held by Britain's Matthew Pinsent and James Cracknell.
The multiple world champions timed 6min 8.50sec on the first day of competition, almost six seconds quicker than the 10-year-old record set at the 2002 world championships. "Six seconds, wow, it doesn't surprise me," said Bond, after the event held at Eton Dorney to the west of London. The duo, who are unbeaten since teaming up in 2009, are now safely into the semifinals.
