Gold rush for Sydneysider at Pan Pacs

Her teammates called her their ‘pocket rocket’ and it’s easy to see why.

When Kristine Telfer stepped onto the podium to collect yet another gold medal in Indoor Rowing at the Pan Pacific Masters Game it capped off an extraordinary few days of competition.

Kristine dominated the indoor rowing events , claiming five gold medals and showcasing remarkable versatility.  The day before , she had already struck gold in powerlifting and added three gold medals in kettlebell to the growing tally.

Having only ever competed in Pan Pacs in 2018 the determined 42-year-old Sydneysider was happy to be back on the Gold Coast.

“This is a world class and high calibre event with opportunity to meet so many athletes and sporting communities,” she said.

With an amazing haul of nine gold medals across three disciplines we think there’s every chance Kristine will be back in 2028 … and we can’t wait to see what she achieves then.
