What a race that was. Cole Hocker broke his PB by three second to win it.

The K2 was a little embarrassing. Kiwis about a minute behind the pace.
I think the commentators were saying something like we had to enter a team to qualify for other races. That is a bit silly.
Yes, it was a loophole to get a K4 crew at the Olympics. Who they competed against in Aust makes the story even funnier.

I find the whole celebration of Silver and Bronze at the Olympics a bit odd.
Second place is just another losing position.
It's winning that is everything!
I dunno, some people would be pretty stoked to get a medal and be recognised as one of the best in the world. For sure, some people will be disappointed if they legit thought they were a chance for gold, and fell just short. Others, may have performed on the big stage with personal/life time bests, possibly higher than they ever thought possible. No wonder they are celebrating!

Was that the C2? The canoe type one where you are paddling in a lunge type position? Our guys looked gumby as, like it was their first time trying it.
