Emma Twigg Smashed The Competition.

By Jai

Emma Twigg won the gold medal at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics on Friday last week. It was in the Tokyo Sea Forest Waterway.


Twigg had a good run in her heat at the 2021 Olympics, she came 1st. In the final she didn’t disappoint coming first again! She had the lead the whole time in the race. She was never near last place and was always the front or the middle of the pack. Twigg looked so comfortable in the race like she could go to sleep. 




Twigg has been rowing since 2001, and at her first Olympics she came 9th in the final in 2008, and 4th in most of the others finals. Last friday it was different because she came first. Her nephew and his friends at New Brighton Catholic were all supporting her in the race.

In conclusion she is a very good rower and she did very well in the race to win gold. New Zealand is excited to see her at the next Olympics
