It's time for a change: retiring rowing twins
The news comes two months after the Hawke's Bay twins, who celebrate their 30th birthday tomorrow, successfully defended their double sculls title at the Beijing Olympics.
"We certainly weren't thinking about it before Beijing," Georgina Evers-Swindell said.
"It's only been in the last few weeks that we've decided it feels like a good time to have a change. It just feels right."
She said the decision hadn't been a difficult one and the pair felt lucky to be able to depart as Olympic champions.
"We've had a pretty cool career and to finish on an Olympic medal and to finish on that race was pretty awesome."
The Evers-Swindell won their first Olympic crown in Athens in 2004.
They also claimed three world titles -- in Seville in 2002, Milan in 2003 and Gifu in 2005.
In the regatta in Japan, they were part of a spectacular 45 minutes when New Zealand's rowers grabbed four gold medals.

Evers-Swindell twins retire from rowing
Their exit comes after they defended their double scull gold medal at the Beijing Olympics.
Caroline and Georgina won the first of their double scull world titles in Seville, Spain, in 2002 and retained it in 2003 in Milan, Italy, before capturing their first Olympic title at Athens in 2004.
They were world champions again in 2005 in Gifu, Japan.
Caroline and Georgina now plan to take some time out while they decide their futures off the water. "Retiring now just feels right," Caroline said.
"It's been a great time in our lives and we couldn't have done it without (coach) Richard (Tonks).
"We have always said they should give out three medals not two."
Georgina said there was life in New Zealand rowing after them.
"There are many young athletes coming up through the ranks and some are already junior and under-23 world champions.
"Rowing has a wealth of talent and the sport is very healthy. It's a great time to bring on the young talent and for us to say good bye."
The Hawke's Bay twins have been international rowers for almost a decade.
