Nine down, five to go - that's New Zealand's mission boiled down at the final rowing qualifying regatta for the Rio Olympics, starting in Lucerne tomorrow.
Rowing New Zealand are aiming to be on the start line in all 14 events at Rio, which would be an outstanding return. They qualified in 11 at London four years ago and have added two eights crews, who won their places at last year's world championships.
You can lock in 2014 world champion Emma Twigg to secure the single scull spot, but the other four crews look to have a stern challenge: 2012 Olympic champion lightweight double scullers Mads Rasmussen and Rasmus Quist have still to qualify and only two of 13 entries will qualify.
France, third in the European Championships men's coxless four this month, are in Lucerne and well regarded. So, too, the Olympic champion women's quad from Ukraine, albeit with slightly changed personnel.
There'll be no easy passes and Rowing New Zealand chief executive Simon Peterson acknowledged yesterday if New Zealand get all 14 to Rio it will be "a historic moment and a really significant achievement".
