Rowing: Drysdale wins Henley Diamond Challenge Sculls

World single sculls champion Mahe Drysdale added another title to his collection when he won the Diamond Challenge Sculls at the Henley regatta in England.

Drysdale went to the front soon after the race and held it comfortably during the race, winning by an "easily" verdict.

Drysdale became the first New Zealander since Erik Verdonk in 1990 to win the Diamond Challenge sculls, which was first contested in 1844.
