    A key piece of Olympic preparation's under threat for New Zealand's top rowers


    The national championships were set to begin today at Lake Ruataniwha near Twizel, but have been put on hold due to a potential community outbreak of Covid-19 in the North Island.

    If alert levels permit, there are hopes the regatta will be rescheduled from Thursday to Saturday.

    Among those competing was women's single sculler Emma Twigg.
