Sent to Tokyo as reserves for the Canadian eights team, Hungerford and Jackson were allowed to enter the coxless pairs as compensation. Given only six weeks to get used to each other, they had their first race together ever in the opening round of the Olympics... Hungerford and Jackson were considered such long shots that no Canadian journalists were present for their race. The shell that they used... was the same shell that had been used by Fifer and Hecht when they won the gold medal in 1956. (Quote from "The complete Book of the Olympics" by David Wallechinsky - 1988, page 380) |
