Australia will throw their weight behind the men's eight to chase a historic gold medal at the Paris OIympics, with the Games rowing team unveiled following a week of trials in Sydney.
Australia have never won an Olympic gold medal in the eight, with the best result silver in the men's event in 1968 in Mexico and 2000 at the Sydney Games.
After some world-class times through the week in Penrith, coming off a bronze at last year's world championship and a World Cup gold, selectors decided to make the big boat the "priority" crew.
