More silverware for New Zealand's best ever male rowing duo - or more gold to be exact.

It's already been announced that Eric Murray and Hamish Bond have been awarded international rowing's top award - the Thomas Keller medal.

They are only the second New Zealanders to receive the award for an outstanding career in rowing, after the Ever-Swindell twins in 2016.

The pair jet off to Switzerland to receive the 18 carat gold medal next week.
