New Zealand's medal haul at the Paris Olympics has increased by a rowing trifecta of gold, silver and bronze.

Lucy Spoors and Brooke Francis took the gold in the double sculls, the men’s four of Logan Ullrich, Tom Murray, Matt Macdonald, and Ollie Maclean dipped their oars in the spoils with silver.

And their female counterparts Jackie Gowler, Kerri Williams, Davina Waddy, and Phoebe Spoors completed the podium with bronze.

Kerri Williams told Ryan Bridge it hasn’t really sunk in yet.

She said it was a bit of a sprint at the end as the leading team set a pretty hot pace, but they came out on the right side.
