New Zealand's newest gold medalists are still coming to terms with their victory

Brooke Francis and Lucy Spoors have won gold in the women's double sculls overnight.

Both women had children in 2022, and have been balancing motherhood with training for the Games.

Francis says they both believed in their ability to get to this point, and they want other mothers to know they can pursue great careers while also being great mothers.

She says today's victory was extremely special, but it still hasn't full sunk in.

Our Kiwi rowers also picked up a bronze and silver overnight, bringing our medal tally to five.
