One of our most successful Olympians - Hamish Bond - is hanging up his oars.

The rower became the first male New Zealander to win three successive Olympic gold medals.

His most recent gold was in the Men's eight at Tokyo.

The 35-year-old says he's known for a while it's the right time for him to retire. Felicity Reid reports.
