Dudley Storey

Dudley Leonard Storey was a New Zealand rower who won two Olympic medals. Born in 1939 in Wairoa, he won the inaugural Prince Philip Challenge Cup at Henley Royal Regatta in 1963 and then rowed in the coxed four at the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, finishing eighth. At the 1968 Summer Olympics he began as a travelling reserve, but the reserves pressed the selectors to enter them as a coxed four and won the gold medal, New Zealand's first in rowing. At the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich he won silver in the coxless four. He later managed New Zealand rowing teams from 1982 to 1986 and was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in 1983. He died in Auckland on 6 March 2017.
