I've seen a few gripes about swimmers being able to win multiple gold medals at the Olympics, but I expect no such complaints about that in the kayaking

None of the silly stroke differences of swimming, more like running 100, 200 and 400.

Or swimming the same stroke 50, 200, and 400.
(I make few complaints about the swimming chances incase the next Danyon Loader turns up for us one Olympics

I like her style and approach as well, goes out all guns blazing at the start and just trusts her strength, condition and training to get her through to the finish. It seems a little braver to lead from the front and back yourself to stay there than what it does to try and run people down in the home straight...

Do Max Brown and Kurtis Imrie have a chance of winning a medal in the Kayak Double 1000m Final (3.55pm)?

Awesome. Looked liked she was fading at the end. Silver clawed back the lead.

Remember she had never won the Olympic gold in this event. Just listening to her interview, her strategy is to start fast and empty the tank.
