It was a golden weekend for a couple of Victoria rowers after they took home the top spot for Zone 6 - Vancouver Island - Central Coast.

Nina and Mira both came into the sport from different paths - Nina told the BC Games Society that sheB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™d played basketball and rode horseback, but had sustained injuries in both sports before determining that rowing would be less likely to cause injuries.

Mira is the daughter of four-time Olympian and silver medalist David Calder. She said her family have been rowing for a long time.

The girls both row out of the Victoria City Rowing Club at Elk Lake , and both could potentially become future Olympians.
