Claim: Alwyn Morris won the gold medal in K-2 1000m race, it created widespread influence among Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities and was raised by his father.
Evidence: This pursuit received encouragement and guidance from his grandfather. 
It was important for Morris to commemorate his grandfather, who died before he could witness Morris's achievement: "He wasn't there any longer and I needed to be able to show my respect for what he had taught me and went through with me."
