Yeah I just watched the interviews. She's like Irene van Dyk just all smiles. A complete star. I stayed up to 3am to watch it live and it was totally worth it. I agree with mokey that she probably suddenly thought too much about it and psyched herself out. But to be expected at 19 and her first major seniors event.</p></blockquote>She'll be 23 in Tokyo, still younger than her next oldest fellow competitor in Rio. Crazy

I see what you did there.

<p>Who is this piston wristed gibbon you all keep talking about? A name would help...</p>

[canefan]

Will Willis go into the race poised like a loaded gun and will he empty the chamber?

<p>Hewitt is a decent chance but Jorgenson is probably a lock for gold in that race.</p>

I suspect Damo missed the piston wristed gibbon thread. That thread will go down in history as one of the very best.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

All these B finals in the rowing/kayaking are a bit shit. Must be gutting competing in them.

[hydro11]

<p>Lydia in trouble on the 2nd.</p>

[hydro11]

<p>Only a bogey.</p>

[Immenso Rapido]

Canadian canoeing is a bit daft IMO. Not quite race walking daft, but ..... someone just give them some proper paddles!

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Was a good race though. Tactically perfect from the Germans.<br><br>
I reckon the canoe sprint is a bit shit. 200 metres is too short.

[hydro11]

<p>Ko just misses a birdie at 3.</p>

[Mokey]

<p>Parks with a four shot lead now and looking ominous. Lyds won't want to let her get away, she is a tough, calm competitor.</p>

[mimic]

<p>k4 500m ladies miss out on a medal</p>
