Stephen Tindall

Well, and we'll get into a bit about how you operate, but one thing that sticks in my mind is during COVID, when we were all in, you know, panic, freak-out mode, pandemic had just hit.

But I remember reading an article, I think it, it might've been from Stephen Tindall, but it was talking about w- we as a country, New Zealand, five million people, we had the ability to produce enough food to feed ourselves, right?

Oh, 100%.

So we weren't, in theory, we weren't as vulnerable as the rest of the world.

some technology for rowing where we would look at the forces in their oars and we could do all sorts of calculations about rowing.

And so Sir Stephen Tindall helped fund that.

So that was a really good initiative.

So one day I took Sir Stephen down to Karapiro and it was a howling gale.

No, none of that.

It was a very interesting story.

I'd recently come back from McLaren, and there was a high-performance sport set up in New Zealand, and Sir Stephen Tindall asked me to come to a meeting, and I went to the meeting about what they were going to do for the Olympics, and Stephen said to me, what do you think? And I just said to him, I said, Stephen, I think the problem is...

Our athletes can't try any harder.
