They took a new Sargent & Burton eight with them to the Olympics but quickly saw that its design and technology was way behind the European built Donoratico and Stampfli shells being used by the other nations.
With Wickham in the stern they raced in a borrowed Donoratico eight for the B final and rowed to an overall eighth place in the Olympic regatta.
