    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.

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

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

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

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

                                      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.
