Dungog rower Spencer Turrin will be out to defy the odds on Saturday night on a big weekend for Hunter athletes at the Paris Olympics.
The 32-year-old will be part of the Australian men's eight crew which will compete in the final at 7.10pm (AEST). The Aussies are rank outsiders in the decider after finishing fourth on Thursday night in their repechage heat, where the top four progressed. They were second in their opening heat behind Great Britain.
