Watching the men's canoe sprints.

The Kiwi commentator obviously doesn't know that STP stands for Sao Tome and Principe. Looooong pause before just referring to them as STP again

They've dusted the cobwebs off John McBeth. The expert commentator is Ben Fouhy.

I'm watching a BBC broadcast I think. It's a pom and a kiwi.

Pretty even first round. Maybe that one combo from the other bloke takes it

[KiwiMurph]

@crucial ROC def winning. Fun fighf though.

Nyika still looks like he could slip one through though

[dogmeat]

Needs to put the Russki on his arse though to win

[Crucial]

Back to the water.

The Ruskie was awkward to fight and hadn't been beaten in 4 years. No disgrace with a bronze medal.

OK. No idea then.

He was also the vastly better boxer. Nyika looked like he cement shoes in comparison and couldn't throw a straight right.

Lol that black boat is just killing everyone

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!

[Crucial]

Another OB as well

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Legend.

[Machpants]

Four OBs in 3 hours, 2 golds, no problem

[taniwharugby]

Holy fuck, amazing!!

OR in both finals!

[Crucial]

Lifts us above the Netherlands on the table too. 10th

[Windows97]

Wow!! What a legend Carrington is!!

Within an hour race, win, OR, rest, race, win OR...in an event that looks incredibly taxing to recover an win again is incredible. What an athlete!

If Lisa was an American she would be a multimillionaire. As it is she has to do it for the love and admiration of our nation

A bit of heresy, but if we still competed as Australasia we'd be just a couple of golds behind the US on the medal table.

We'd be bitching about the passengers from the Federated States, though!
