One of New Zealand's top Olympic rowers has been released from Waikato Hospital following a collision during a practice session on Lake Karapiro yesterday morning.
Mahe Drysdale has a bruised kidney and serious muscular damage.
X-rays have ruled out any spinal injury.
He was tossed from his single scull boat after colliding with a 14-year-old water skier.
New Zealand Rowing chief Craig Ross says this accident was waiting to happen as the rules are continually broken on the lake.
