Ivan Sutherland

Ivan has had a lifetime involvement with the sport and continues to this day as the chairman of the New Zealand Rowing Foundation.

His initial selection was in the coxless four at the 1974 World Championships in Lucerne, Switzerland which finished fourth just narrowly beaten out of a medal place. This was followed by being selected in the eight for the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal, Canada, where they finished in 3rd place for the bronze medal.

In 1977 at the World Championships in Amsterdam he was again in the coxless four where they won the silver medal. This was followed in 1978 at the World Championships at Karapiro, this time in the eight and a bronze medal to his credit. His last international selection was in the eight for the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games, which was boycotted by the majority of the sports in the New Zealand Olympic team.
