                    Wow. That last 250m from the Americans. I would've sworn with 500m to go they were going to be overtaken.

                            Absolutely. We flew that 500-250 to go to get neck and neck then the yanks just took off.

                            Brilliant morning. One of each out of 4 races. Can't complain.

                                Rowing is where it's at mate. We just annihilated them in the mens 4. Thats all that counts ....

                                Seriously though, that is expected isn't it? Hockeyroos (or whetever they're called) are fairly handy.

                                  That Olympic medal-winning performance was Brooke Francis and Lucy Spoors' first race win since teaming up in the double scull.

                                  Timing eh. 🙂

                                    NZ now sitting 11th on the medal table. Not bad for a country of just over 5 million

                                      @1kiwi Which got even worse to finish five nil. They do reasonably ok against most other teams but the Aussies seem to always demolish us. Except for 1976 of course!

                                        Yeah Aussie hockey is on another level. All their players full time professionals, where as most of our guys have full time jobs.

                                          We're doing well this Olympics so far.

                                          Reasonable prospects to add another couple in the single scullers.

                                          Where are our other medals going to come from?
