Twin brothers Matias and Tomas Moloney, 17, are apart of the crew who have won the World U19 Coxed Fours Rowing Championship for Australia, taking out the gold medal with Italy second and USA third.
The crew trained nine times per week for the competition which was held in Ontario Canada on 26 August.
Proud grandparents from Noosa, John and Carol Moloney said,”Our twins were part of the successful St Joseph’s college Sydney First 8, which won the 2024 Head of the River Rowing championship earlier this year in Sydney.”
“They had then progressed from winning the Australian Nationals under 17 8’s in Perth in 2023.
“When holidaying in Noosa with us over the past few years, they and their older brother Maxim trained at Lake Macdonald with the local sculling squad.”
