Trask had not been able to take part in the 1980 Olympic Games because of the Olympic boycott .

At the 1984 Olympic Games , O'Connell, Robertson and Trask competed with Shane O'Brien as a four-man without a helmsman . In the absence of the boats from the Eastern Bloc, the New Zealanders won ahead of the US boat and the Danes. At the 1985 World Rowing Championships in Belgium, Ross Tong was in the four for Robertson, who finished fourth behind the boats from the FRG, the USSR and the GDR.
