Evers-Swindell Sisters Retire from Rowing

New Zealand’s Caroline and Georgina Evers-Swindell, the Gold Medalists in the women’s double sculling event in both the Beijing and the Athens games, announced their retirement from the sport on Friday (New Zealand time), which happens to be their 30th birthday. The rowing twins are one of just a handful of New Zealand athletes to earn back-to-back Gold Medals. They gave no indication of what their next ventures will be, although the pair is active on the New Zealand and international speaking circuit.
