            Yeah. She has a reputation as a loner. And she doesn't appear to see eye to eye with Carrington's mentor and lead coach of the team reportedly. Basically trains on her own so I read

              Lids and Metraux dropped shots on 1. They have come back and joined a large group tied at the top. If there is a tie at the end, will all of them get gold medals? Metraux dropped a shot on 2 as well.

                  Lids starting a little shaky. Metraux is bleeding right now, I think the pressure is finally getting to her

                    Dame Lisa has the seventh-most medals of any female in Olympic history. Also puts her 16th on the all-time list.

                        The climbing women’s final was great. Decent sport that.

                          Lids regains the outright lead, up one stroke at -9. But it's way early

                                  I'm sure there are lots of loner types in sports like kayaking. Wasn't Drysdale a bit of a loner in the single sculls? And I seem to recall someone not seeing eye to eye with Stephen Ferguson back in the day

                                      Lids still leads. Fighting hard, her long game has been hot and cold, but she's getting up and down really well. Lots of movement behind her. Still most of the round to go so anything could happen
